2 Bed Terraced House For Sale

Tucked away in a peaceful enclave of the sought-after Barnsbury Conservation Area, this three-storey house effortlessly marries contemporary elegance with the enduring charm of its early Victorian heritage. Thoughtfully redesigned by acclaimed architecture practice Emil Eve, the interiors celebrate a refined material palette, seamlessly blending modern materials and historic details.



At the front of the house, traditional six-over-six sash windows frame leafy views and bathe the living space in soft natural light, setting a calm and welcoming tone. To the rear, a striking, custom-designed oak kitchen forms the heart of the home. Tailored for both everyday living and entertaining, it features sleek, integrated appliances, quartz worktops, and finely crafted cabinetry. A new architectural light well introduces an abundance of daylight, enhancing the warmth of the natural materials and lending the space a quietly luxurious feel.



Ascending via a sculptural staircase with curved oak banister, the first floor reveals a generous bedroom and a beautifully appointed bathroom. Here, green marble accents add a rich, tactile quality, while a walk-in rainfall shower, soft terrazzo underfoot, and Flos lighting provide a spa-like experience.



A few steps along brings you to the second bathroom, serving the principal bedroom. The design language continues here with a curved, fully tiled shower enclosure complemented by brass fittings from Crosswater. Approaching the top floor, full-width glazing opens onto a private west-facing roof terrace. A rare and tranquil retreat with far-reaching views over the mature gardens of the surrounding conservation area.
