Spanning five floors and clocking in at just over 4,500 sq ft, it blends old-school elegance with the ease of modern living. Think towering sash windows, working fireplaces and original cornicing – all the period charm you’d expect – but with a slick steel-and-glass extension that brings in light and garden views by the bucketload.

The ground floor reception is full of drama (the good kind), with a double-height ceiling and three classic windows that look out over the Square’s leafy calm. The kitchen downstairs is a masterclass in cool minimalism – Bulthaup cabinetry, Gaggenau appliances and an industrial edge that’s softened by warm oak flooring and garden access via Crittall doors. Also on this level is a guest suite that wouldn’t look out of place in a boutique hotel, plus a generous utility space.

Upstairs, the main suite spans the entire second floor and feels suitably luxurious, with a bespoke walk-through wardrobe and a bathroom that nails the spa brief – think sculptural stone tub, marble-topped double vanity and a rainfall shower. The top floor houses two more double bedrooms, another sleek C.P. Hart bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe (or fourth bedroom, depending on how you roll).

It is rare to find a home of this scale and finish in such a prime spot – Highbury and Islington station is just down the road, Upper Street is on your doorstep, and you get your own private garage, too. Period grandeur meets thoughtful design, with a bit of north London soul thrown in.
