Richmond Avenue, Barnsbury N1

A grand three-bedroom (plus study) maisonette arranged over the upper floors of a handsome Victorian villa, offering voluminous interiors, period detailing, and a substantial private roof terrace set in the heart of Barnsbury.

INSIDE

This exceptional Share of Freehold home combines the scale and presence of a house with the elegance of its architectural origins. Positioned on one of Barnsbury’s most sought-after streets, it enjoys direct views over Barnsbury Park and the crescent’s renowned gardens.

Set across four expansive levels, this residence has its own private entrance, opening to a wide hallway that immediately conveys a sense of scale and grandeur. Original wood floors run underfoot, complemented by soaring ceilings and plentiful natural light throughout.

On the first floor, a remarkable dual-aspect reception room is framed by floor-to-ceiling sash windows, a marble fireplace, ornate cornicing and an intricate ceiling rose. French doors lead directly onto a generous private terrace—an idyllic spot for al fresco dining or simply enjoying the peaceful garden outlooks.

Adjoining this space is a smartly appointed kitchen and dining area, ideal for entertaining. On the lower half landing, a flexible room—currently used as a fourth bedroom—could alternatively serve as a utility space or be adapted into a second bathroom (subject to consents).

The principal bedroom occupies the front of the second floor, enjoying beautiful views over the crescent and beyond. A large family bathroom sits to the rear, while the top floor houses two further double bedrooms, both flooded with light and offering far-reaching views towards St Pancras and the treetops of Barnsbury behind.

Communal gardens extend to the rear of the house and are shared with neighbouring residents, enhancing the sense of green serenity. The property also benefits from Share of Freehold tenure and an abundance of discreet storage throughout.
