Description

Located on one of the most iconic streets in Angel is this delightful three bedroom Grade II listed Georgian home. Rich in character and dating back to the 1820s, the property has been sympathetically refurbished including original lime plaster and lath walls by the current vendor whilst retaining all the characteristics and charm of a home dating back over 200 years.

Neatly positioned behind cast iron railings, the property comprises an inviting entrance which immediately sets the tone for this fabulous home with original wood panelling, original chunky wooden floorboards, the original staircase complemented by the original balustrade, including the mahogany banister, and wonderful natural light from the large sash window on the landing, as well as the south facing fanlights above the front door. Set to the left is the wonderful dual aspect double reception room, which has an array of wonderful period features, including coving, wood panelling, chunky wooden floorboards, sash windows with original wooden pull-up shutters and a fabulous marble fireplace, which was commissioned by Lady Scott Fox, one of the former residents of the property. In addition, there is am eco log burner to create a delightful ambient glow and warmth during the winter months.

Leading off the half landing on this floor is a handy W/C, along with access to the verdant walled garden, which offers a peaceful setting with a variety of mature plants and shrubs, creating a beautiful oasis.

The first floor houses the glorious principal bedroom, which is bathed in light from the two large south-facing sash windows. The principal bedroom offers great ceiling height and further benefits from original coving and original wooden floorboards. Positioned to the rear of the first floor is a stylish bespoke Jack and Jill bathroom, which the vendor commissioned, including a hidden loo, a freestanding vanity unit with a Terrazzo countertop imported from Italy and a modern freestanding tub. The top floor of this handsome home consists of two further bright double bedrooms.

The downstairs houses the fabulous kitchen diner, with the dining area set to the front, which enjoys wonderful light from the floor-to-ceiling wooden bifold doors to the front, as well as the rear sash window. The kitchen also has bespoke freestanding units designed by the vendor with her architect, adding some flair with Terrazzo worktops.

Located within the Duncan Terrace / Colebrook Row Conservation Area, the property enjoys a remarkably peaceful setting, yet is only moments from Camden Passage and Upper Street, which offer an excellent array of independent boutiques, bars, restaurants and delicatessens.
