Welcome to our newly renovated and beautifully designed 3 bedroom townhouse in the charming neighborhood of Barnsbury. This stunning property has been thoughtfully designed with modern amenities and stylish decor to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay for our guests.
The house sits within a charming terrace, characterised by a typical Georgian façade of London stock brick and stucco rendering, painted in ‘Railings’ by Farrow and Ball. The original frontage has been restored, reinstating the arched sash window on the first floor (now double glazed and sound insulated) while adding thoughtfully planted window boxes.
A short set of stairs leads to the smart panelled front door with brass features, which opens directly onto a bright living area, where oiled oak herringbone parquet by Havwoods grounds the space. This room is dual aspect, allowing plenty of natural light to illuminate white-washed walls, which appear throughout. There are two decorative fireplaces with plenty of shelving on either side for storage.
A staircase leads to the lower ground floor, where the kitchen and dining area is located. Architecture for London has completely reimagined this space, transforming the rear courtyard into an impressive conservatory enclosed by a luscious green wall. Oak parquet flooring is warmed by underfloor heating on this level.
The bespoke kitchen sits at the front of the plan, predominantly executed with a dark grey and pink palette with fixtures by Buster and Punch. Solid white concrete work surfaces and an integrated sink by Mortise concrete mirror the industrial feel exposed beams overhead. There is a line of integrated full-height cupboards on the opposite wall, while ‘melt lamps’ by Tom Dixon hang above. From here, glazed doors open onto a small front patio. There is also a WC on this floor painted playful bubblegum pink, with a matching concrete sink and rose gold taps by Lusso Stone.
A spacious double bedroom and an impeccably designed bathroom sit on the first floor. The bedroom has full-height wardrobes, and two sash windows look over Liverpool Road. Stripped back floorboards flow throughout this room. A freestanding copper bath by London Encaustic sits in the centre of the bathroom, which also has a spacious walk-in shower with fixtures by ABI interiors and concrete tiles by Porcelanosa. There is also underfloor heating.
Two further bedrooms sit on the third floor, a master bedroom with super kingsize bed and a smaller third bedroom with a double bed and desk. The master bedroom has newly built bespoke cupboards and a smart en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and charcoal-coloured concrete sink by Josef, again with underfloor heating.
Roof terrace (in use from Spring to late Autumn)
Through a bespoke glass entrance lies a generous terrace with far-reaching uninterrupted views across the rooftops beyond. A wonderfully private and secluded space, the terrace has a built-in kitchen area equipped with a sink, outside fridge and a mains gas BBQ, perfect for entertaining or alfresco dining. It sits alongside a seating area painted a vivid pink, in contrast to the newly laid decking stained with Osmo Oil. The house is one of the few on the street to have a demised terrace.
High speed broadband internet/Wi-Fi with a 3 port mesh system to cover the whole house, ensures you stay connected throughout your trip – great news for our business travellers.
