For Sale3 Bedroom House in Noel Road, Islington, London, N1 8HA£3,950,000

Beautiful Grade II listed house backing onto Regents Canal. This is a most attractive five storey Georgian House built around the early 19th century, that backs directly onto Regents canal. Crenelated balconies, mitred windows, original shutters and cornicing are amongst other period features. Interiors designed for the current owners by Nicky Haslam, including extensive bespoke solid wood cabinetry throughout, made to the highest quality. Recently refurbished and redecorated inside and out, including re-conditioning of all sash windows and doors. Of particular note is the super kitchen dining room leading directly out the rear garden and the most elegant drawing room on the ground floor. The first floor houses the main bedroom, and bathroom, with a wonderful balcony that overlooks the garden and canal to the rear. There is a further bedroom and bathroom on the second floor whilst the top floor has been completely opened up by the current owners, to provide a large bright and appealing studio/office and bedroom space. This could easily be reconfigured to two bedrooms if required and subject to planning permissions. The rear window offers super southerly views across the canal to the city and beyond. This house has an additional 'secret' element to the stunning South facing rear garden - it runs parallel to the canal and is the only one of the road to benefit from this space. Walter Sickert, the leading British Impressionist, rented a studio here at what was 26 Noel Street, now 54 Noel Road, where he would spend his time painting and etching scenes of Islington, including “The Hanging Gardens” which depicts a view of the back garden of this property and reflecting the green tree lined canal behind. This painting sold into a private collection at Christies in 2013. View payable Stamp Duty for this property
