Elegantly refurbished townhouse on sought-after street.
Description
A charming five storey house, with good sized family accommodation throughout, an elegant garden and roof terrace and a wealth of period features.
Positioned on one of Islington’s most prestigious streets, this exceptional grade II listed early Victorian townhouse has been meticulously restored by RIBA award-winning architects Michaelis Boyd, with interiors by luxury residential specialists Crawford Design. The result is a rare home where Victorian heritage and modern craftsmanship blend seamlessly.
The main house extends to almost 3,000 sq ft across five floors (over 3,200 sq ft including the Garden Studio and generous vaults storage), offering five bedrooms and four bathrooms.
Generous reception spaces include a double-aspect first floor reception room with floor-to-ceiling windows, a library/snug, a cinema/family room, and a study with charming rear garden views.
On the three principal floors, original features have been lovingly restored, including ornate cornicing, ceiling roses and Carrera marble fireplaces, complemented by new engineered oak parquet flooring. The lower ground and 3rd floors have been beautifully modernised with new layouts to better suit contemporary living, and styled with cross-sawn smoked oak floorboards.
A Victorian house designed for modern life, the house is fitted with underfloor heating in all bathrooms, Banham security and is fully ethernet wired.
On the ground floor lies a handmade kitchen by Matthew King Design. It features Costa Esmerelda green quartzite countertops, a Lacanche range, a breakfast bar and a full range of discreet luxury appliances. The dining room boasts fully restored Victorian detailing and looks onto the mature trees of the public gardens beyond.
The principal suite occupies the entire second floor. The bedroom benefits from cleverly designed and extensive storage with views over Colebrooke Row Gardens. The dramatic ensuite bathroom features Brazilian green marble, Lefroy Brookes fittings and a statement solid brass bateau bath.
At the rear of the house, a lanscaped garden by Emma Griffin Garden Design offers multi-zoned outdoor spaces with a sunken dining pergola, a higher seating area with pretty church views and a water feature, cleverly hidden garden storage, and integrated lighting, electrics and irrigation systems. The garden features a fully heated and insulated Podspace studio for year-round use.
The property is unusual in benefitting from a large private roof terrace. Also designed by Emma Griffin Garden Design, and boasting panoramic views of the city, bespoke lighting and irrigation, this space provides an additional retreat or hosting space.
The property has a boot room at ground floor level and a dedicated utility room on the lower ground floor.
Location
Duncan Terrace is a late Georgian and early Victorian terrace running parallel to Upper Street in the heart of Islington and within the Conservation area. It is well known as one of Islington's most premier streets, fronted by a quiet strip of garden entirely devoid of through traffic but within moments of the bars, shops and restaurants of Upper Street. The local shops and cafe’s of Camden Passage are 0.2 miles. Angel Station (Northern Line) is approximately 300 metres walk and is on the Bank Branch. Moorgate, Bank/Monument and London Bridge are all within 4 stops and Kings Cross/St. Pancreas International Station, with its extensive links to the rest of London, is one stop away. There are many bus routes from Angel Station (0.2 miles), heading both East and West and into the City.
All distances are approximate.
