Almeida Street, Islington, N1

Description

An attractive Georgian Grade II listed family home bought in 1975, with the residence extended into the ground floor of the neighbouring house following the purchase of the neighbouring freehold in 1988. The gardens of both houses were opened and combined. This extensive property offers a total area now of 3260 sq. ft and includes the freehold to number 3 and 4 Almeida Street but will be subject to 3 leases within number 4 (one short and two long leases).

The main entrance to number 3 is set to the side via a private off-street parking space and leads into a wide 2m wide entrance hall. To the rear of the entrance hall is a most useful utility room and boot/cloaks room. The inner hallway leads into the glorious front reception room with two large sash windows and a delightful array of period features. To the rear is a fitted kitchen which opens to a rear walkway and gardens. The front reception was opened into the neighbouring reception room some years ago and we understand has permissions to retain. The second reception is of the same proportions and similar features. To the rear is (currently) a bedroom/ former dining room, which leads to a rear bathroom, workshop, utility, and store cupboards. This also provides further access to the rear garden and into the entrance hall of the attached property. The lower ground floor provides two bedrooms, a store/workshop, bathroom, kitchenette, and access to the front lightwell and two vaults. The staircase leads to the first floor with a wonderful and elegant reception with tall sash windows and period features and shelving. There is a study/ bedroom to the rear. The second floor offers a further well-proportioned bedroom and master bathroom. The top (third floor) offers two further double bedrooms and a further bathroom with storage cupboards.

The rear garden is almost due south facing with a retained wall and approaching 60ft in width. The gardens are accessed via the two-rear utility/ workshops and kitchen and ground floor bedroom via the walkway. There is a splendid brick archway between the two main gardens sections and a rear walkway to the immediate rear of both properties.

Almeida Street is found in central Islington a few doors along from the internationally renowned Almeida Theatre. Upper Street is close by and continues to offer wonderful shopping, restaurants, and bistros. Most recently, the Islington Square complex just seconds away from this property, has been completed, providing a cinema, restaurants, and further shopping opportunities.
