A stunning Grade II listed, early Victorian family house positioned on Compton Road, offering close to 2,300 sq ft of accommodation arranged over four floors, complemented by a deep west facing rear garden; all set within the heart of the Canonbury Conservation Area.<br/> <br/>The property has been re designed by the renowned architect Eric Parry, skilfully balancing contemporary architectural interventions with retained period detailing. A striking double height glass atrium forms the centrepiece to the rear of the house, enhancing volume across the two lower floors and allowing natural light to flood the living spaces throughout the day.<br/> <br/>Spanning almost 18 feet in width, the house is notably wider than many properties of a similar age and style within the area. This additional width is particularly evident on the upper levels and most impressive within the first floor principal bedroom, which features tall ceilings, full height sash windows and elegant decorative cornicing.<br/> <br/>The raised ground floor provides a generous double reception room which opens directly onto the atrium, while the floor below houses an expansive open plan kitchen and dining room. This space offers excellent natural light and features a sleek contemporary kitchen, a separate utility room and a unique double height pivoting glass door leading out to the garden.<br/> <br/>The upper floors comprise three further well proportioned double bedrooms, alongside a contemporary family bathroom and a separate shower room.<br/> <br/>To the rear, a secluded west facing garden provides an excellent setting for outdoor entertaining and relaxation, benefiting from afternoon and evening sunlight.<p><br/>Compton Road is one of Canonbury's most sought after streets and runs from Canonbury Place to St Paul's Road. The nearest Underground station can be found at Highbury & Islington (0.2 miles - Victoria Line, Overground and Mainline services). Canonbury (0.5 miles - Overground) and Essex Road stations (0.4 miles - First Capital Connect services) are easily accessible and provide access to west London and fast direct access to the City.</p>
