A spacious modernised Victorian Period House
Our house is a recently modernised 3 bed / 2 bath Victorian Period House set in the heart of Islington's leafy borough of Barnsbury. It backs onto Barnsbury Wood and is a short walk from the Restaurants and Shops of King's Cross and Upper Street. The property offers generous entertainment space with a 1st floor Living Room/ Library, a ground floor rear balcony connected to the Kitchen and Dining Rooms and a lower ground floor Playroom (with TV) leading via sliding glass doors to the Garden.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />The property is a mid 19th Century Victorian terraced house set over 5 floors with a rear garden. The house backs onto Barnsbury Woods (London's smallest nature reserve)  which provides a calming and cooling canopy of trees during the sticky summer months.
Barnsbury is a leafy close-knit community close to the heart of London. There are a number of family friendly parks nearby including Thornhill Square, Barnard Park (with a dedicated dog section), Arundel Square and Highbury Fields, all with playgrounds. Upper Street, a 10 minute walk away and known as 'Supper Street' the restaurant trade, offers plenty of high-quality dining (Ottolenghi, Trullo, Prawn on the lawn, and Zen Mondo being some of our favourites) and more general good quality shopping. The vibrant King's Cross development is a mere 15 minute walk which again offers great dining (German Gymnasium, Dishoom, Caravan and others) and the shopping of the newly opened Coals Drop Yard. The nearby Caledonian Road (less than 5 minutes) provides late night convenience shopping (Co-op and Texaco Petrol Station).<br />For Coffee and brunch type eating the Sunday Cafe & Restaurant and Southpaw Cafe are a few minutes walk and are both highly recommended.
We are a professional family with a young child and dog.
