We were initially introduced to James Neilson through friends.

We recently sold our house successfully through Neilson and Bauer. They were our sole agents. The house is a very beautiful and unique property on Thornhill Road. They found the right buyers. We were initially introduced to James Neilson through friends. He sold their property in Islington a few years ago. They were confident that James Neilson was someone we could trust. And how right they were. We hold him in very high regard. His partner Graham Bauer has also given us great service. They are both warm and unpretentious men who run an impressive agency. Many thanks to all at Neilson and Bauer. Kenneth Cranham and Fiona Victory. Read more

Description

SOLD -An attractive and substantial Victorian property standing proudly within the heart of Barnsbury. This three window wide Freehold is set over 4 storeys on this tree lined road. The property was built in the 1860’s and enjoys good views westerly down the gardens of Belitha Villas and towards Mountfort Crescent. The recently upgraded Yorkstone steps lead to a grand doorway which opens to an impressive wide hall. This spacious hallway leads through to a double reception room with high ceilings and an East-West orientation. The two rooms intercommunicate with substantial folding Victorian doors. Two large sash windows to the front reception, working open fireplace with attractive fire setting. To the rear is a wonderful dining room with views through a tall and wide sash window overlooking Belitha Villas gardens. These two rooms offer many wonderful period features from the tall sash windows to the ornate ceiling coving. To the side and through what was originally the rear fireplace is a fitted kitchen which then leads off to most useful utility room and bathroom. Next to the back door are two good store cupboards and the back door which leads down the rear patio garden. The beautiful turning staircase leads up to the first-floor landing which leads on to a spacious rear reception room and fabulous three window wide front reception room with great light and commanding views to the front and rear. Just off this great room is a delightful roof conservatory and terrace for the times we all need reflection and some time alone. The hallway stairs continue upwards to the second floor which offers two large bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom. The lower ground floor level is arranged as a separate apartment which provides two double bedrooms and a well-proportioned reception room to the rear which directly accesses the garden via two double patio doors to the rear. To the side is a kitchenette and bathroom with store cupboards with further storage cupboards in the main entrance hallway. This is a special building and quite unique. There are fabulous front railings protecting a grand looking Victorian property.
