Local Information

In the heart of the

Canonbury conservation

area, this unique home

is very well placed for

the excellent amenities

including the many

shops and restaurants

on Upper Street,

Camden Passage and

theatres.

It is well served by

Overground, National

Rail and buses) close by

and providing easy and

reliable access to the

About this property

Sitting in a commanding

position in Canonbury,

with its award winning

Sissinghurst inspired

front garden, this is a

rare opportunity as it is

the first time this

detached home has

been available in a

generation. It is replete

with original features,

lovingly restored by the

current owners.

The house consists of

two parts that are linked,

a detached house

c.1855 and a two storey

C16th octagonal tower,

originally built as a

garden room for

Canonbury House.

Being linked, there is a

fabulous feeling of

lateral space over the

ground and raised

ground floors and this

offers flexible use of the

space.

The main part of the

house has an open plan

kitchen with separate

utility room, plentiful

storage and large dining

room at ground level

This leads to a

conservatory

overlooking the split

level 82’ garden

Of note, over this level is

the first of two large

octagonal rooms,

forming part of the

tower, currently used as

a fabulous reception

room, featuring Victorian

Gothic windows. This is

reached via a lower

lobby with guest WC.

The house sits at an

angle to Alwyne Road,

which means the

spacious South-facing

double reception room

on the raised ground

floor is extremely bright

throughout the day.

The upper floor of the

tower sits off the main

hall way and is currently

a grand master bedroom

with its stunning domed,

double height ceiling,

adjacent bathroom and

Juliet balcony

overlooking the terrace.

Over the top two floors

are the master bedroom

and two further double

bedrooms and family

bathroom. Importantly,

the house has a garage

plus off street parking

and handy side access

to the garden.

The house would benefit

from some changes

internally, subject to the

usual approvals, and is

a fabulous family home.
