Description
A rare find in central London: a light-filled, architect-reimagined open-plan Victorian townhouse in the heart of the Barnsbury Conservation Area. Gutted and rebuilt by renowned architect Alexander Martin, the house pairs period detail — intricate cornicing, working fireplaces, sash windows — with generous contemporary living space, a private driveway, and a walled tropical garden. The entire house is for rent.

NEIGHBOURHOOD MAGIC
Barnsbury Conservation Area isn't just historically significant - it's where Georgian and Victorian elegance meets modern London living and an urban buzz. The home perfectly captures this: original period features (think intricate cornicing, working fireplaces, classic sash windows) seamlessly blended with Alexander Martin's genius contemporary extensions.
YOUR LONDON PLAYGROUND
The Regent's Canal is a secret escape route - your private green corridor to everywhere that matters. Stroll west to King's Cross for Eurostar adventures to Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam. Carry on a little further, and you'll be in Camden, then the London Zoo. Go east on the canal, and you'll hit the hipster areas of Shoreditch and Hoxton. You'll never be bored with free canal-side cinema, concerts, exhibits, and splash fountains for the kids.
CULTURE ON YOUR DOORSTEP
The intimate Almeida Theatre hosts world-class actors in surprisingly personal settings. Sadler's Wells also delivers cutting-edge dance, and the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre is magical in the summer. We also have three cinemas, including the iconic Screen on the Green.
FOODIE PARADISE
Islington offers a wide range of cuisines, from Afghan to Ethiopian, Georgian and Mexican. For modern British, The Albion, a local Georgian pub dating back to the 1700s, is renowned for its wisteria-covered facade, gorgeous walled garden, and Sunday roasts.
