Architect designed house with two roof terraces.
Description
Set within a peaceful position in the Barnsbury Conservation Area, this exceptional three storey Victorian house has been comprehensively redesigned by the acclaimed architecture practice Emil Eve. The result is a beautifully balanced home that combines contemporary design, quality materials and period charm.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors and offers well considered living space throughout. To the front of the property, traditional sash windows provide excellent natural light and retain the character of the original building. To the rear, the bespoke oak kitchen forms the heart of the home, featuring integrated appliances, quartz worktops, extensive cabinetry and a striking architectural lightwell that enhances both the sense of space and natural light.
The first floor comprises a generous double bedroom and a beautifully appointed bathroom finished with quality materials and fittings. Also on this level is a totally separate wet room with toilet. At the rear there is one of the two terraces. The principal bedroom occupies the upper level and benefits from full width glazing which opens onto one of two roof terraces, providing a wonderful extension of the living space and attractive views across the surrounding gardens and rooftops.
Throughout the house, careful attention has been paid to both design and functionality, with double glazing, bespoke joinery and high quality finishes creating a home that is equally suited to modern family life and professional buyers seeking a turnkey property.
