Description
A magnificent Grade II listed Georgian terrace house, built in the early 1800‘s and located on one of Angel‘s premier streets, Duncan Terrace.The position of the house allows for fantastic views over Duncan Terrace gardens itself and through to the cityscape on the higher floors, coupled with the east to west orientation meaning the property is flooded with natural light.
Having been in the same ownership for 38 years, the house beautifully combines sympathetic restoration with the owners personal touches and offers almost 2,700 sq ft of well-proportioned accommodation over five floors.
The ground floor reception space offers ornate cornicing, a sash window with shutters, fireplace and at the rear of the ground floor, a bright galley kitchen leading to a terrace which overlooks and leads down to the rear, west-facing 75‘ garden which can accommodate a marquee for entertaining.
Of particular note is the elegant first floor double drawing room with tall ceilings, a working period fireplace and floor-to-ceiling sash windows allowing natural light to pour in.
Over the upper floors are three double bedrooms including a stunning second floor principal bedroom suite adjacent to a generous bathroom featuring a free-standing bathtub which together with the walls up to dado level is clad with marble and ceramic tiles.
The lower ground floor offers flexible space with good ceiling height and provides two further double bedrooms, one of which is presently used as an office/study, a shower room and a utility room. The corridor in the lower ground floor offers access to the garden and the front area.
The lower floor could also be repurposed as a viable separate apartment.
The house has a unique aspect, a view down Elia Street to the City beyond.
