LIGHT, AIRY GARDEN FLAT IN A LEAFY, SECLUDED, LISTED VICTORIAN SQUARE — WITH EXCELLENT TRANSPORT AND CYCLING LINKS ACROSS LONDON.

A rare opportunity to live in one of the quietest, leafiest squares in Islington; at night you hear owls, not traffic.
Thornhill Crescent and Square are exactly as planned in Regency times and built in the middle of the nineteenth century. Together they form a large oval — almost closed to through traffic — enclosing spacious gardens and a Victorian church.

This spacious one-bedroom apartment forms the garden floor of a handsome Grade II listed Victorian town house. Private open space front and back, and a beautiful shared garden backing onto woodland — a protected local nature reserve.

Fifteen minutes’ walk to King’s Cross and Angel; direct cycling routes to the West End and the City. Five bus routes; underground at Angel, King’s Cross/St Pancras International, Caledonian Road, and Highbury & Islington. Caledonian Road & Barnsbury Overground is four minutes’ walk away, with connections east, west, and south to Richmond. Residents’ parking bays are usually available.
The Caledonian Road has filled in with cafés, global restaurants, shops and wine bars. The Tamil Prince and Sunday are closer still, and the area is studded with pubs and gastropubs.

The flat has its own small east-facing patio at the back, and a large sunny west-facing patio at the front, with broad French windows opening from the sitting room (original fireplace with Victorian range). The beautiful rear garden (with barbecue area) is shared with the owners of the house above. Open spaces, large windows and high ceilings make it light and airy.

It comprises a large reception and dining room (opening onto the front patio), a lobby ideal for storage, a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, and a very large double bedroom / home office with sleigh bed, ample storage, and views onto the garden and the woodland beyond. The shower room has Brazilian marble, plenty of built-in storage, and a door to the rear patio and the garden — the largest in this part of the Crescent.
