3 Bed Terraced House For Sale

Georgian Terraced Three-Bedroom House, situated moments away from King's Cross St. Pancreas. This mid-1800's three-storey character property comprises three bedroom, an open plan kitchen/living room and a roof terrace.

Swinton Street was first laid out in 1776 as a cul-de-sac overlooking the Fleet Brook meadows. It was formally recorded in 1778 as "a street now building" and formed part of the Swinton Estate, created by James Swinton, a builder and surveyor from Gravesend, and his brother Peter Swinton, a physician.

Construction began with a row of houses in the late 18th century, with further development taking place between the 1830s and 1844. At its eastern end stands the terrace at 55-67 Swinton Street, including the former King's Head public house, which is Grade II listed. Architectural details across the street include stuccoed doorcases, pilasters, fanlights, pediments, sash windows, and original iron railings.

Swinton Street has been part of the King's Cross Conservation Area since 1991, linking its 18th- and 19th-century origins with the wider history of King's Cross, from agricultural land to industrial hub and later regeneration.
