Gibson Square, Islington, London, N1

This fantastic and unique family house is of a classic late Georgian structure and sits amongst a terrace of similar handsome, Grade II listed houses.

Description

This Grade II listed house is set within a gorgeous Islington square and is a unique house within the square. Many period features have been retained including fireplaces and pretty cornicing, but modern twists have been incorporated which include a glass retractable roof above the kitchen, underfloor heating, integral speakers and modern fixtures and fittings in the bathrooms and kitchen.

The ground floor in the front room has historically been removed, creating a double height gallery over the lower ground floor reception - exceptional for a property in the square - that creates an amazing sense of space and light.

The principal bedroom is on the first floor, and having floor to ceiling windows, is a very impressive room. This is opened through to offer a spacious en suite with a dressing room and bathroom. The bathroom is tiled with Carrera marble, has under floor heating, an integrated wall TV and fixtures and fittings of the highest standard.

There are two further double bedrooms on the second floor, along with another bathroom. The top of the house has glass ceiling panels allowing the maximum light in to upper floors.

The lower ground floor has been opened up to offer a kitchen, dining room and reception, utility and guest washroom all on one level, perfect for family living and entertaining. The kitchen has a Roundhouse handmade kitchen units and Aga. There is access to the rear garden directly from the kitchen and also at raised ground floor level.

The garden is charming and offers entertaining space on the ground and lower ground levels. Facing West, it enjoys morning, afternoon and evening sun. There is a very useful automated watering system in the garden.

There are two under pavement vaults which have been fully tanked, offering excellent storage.
