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.
