Link-detached house for sale in Duke's Road, London WC1H

The house was designed by architect Thomas Cubitt in 1822 integral with the pedestrian street, Wolburn Walk, London's first purpose-built pedestrianised shopping street. Much of the architecture has been preserved, including the elegant Dickensian bow-fronted buildings.

Set over five characterful levels, it has four bedrooms and a versatile plan measuring almost 2,500 sq ft internally.

Behind what was once the original curved shop window now hosts a one bedroom apartment that can be accessed by its own front door, but is also still adjoined to the main house. This can be retained as accommodation or rented separately to provide the incoming owner with supplementary income.

Through the original paneled door with brass knocker, one enters the main house. From the hallway, the original staircase leads up to a bright living room with original windows and shutters, an original fireplace and large doors which can be opened to a study and the roof terrace at the rear. Light pours into the living room from the French casement windows set in a depressed arch, decorated with original railings that create a Juliet balcony over the shop window below.

The kitchen is at lower ground floor level, with space large enough for dining and a front picture window that casts light into the room. To the rear of the lower ground floor level is a large TV room, and access out onto a private patio garden.

From the principal bedroom, a Venetian casement window overlooks the street below with views across the rooftops of London and there is ample storage space.

Behind this is a further bedroom illuminated by another large west-facing sash window.

A further bedroom is on the third floor – a wood paneled room with a working cast iron stove. This room has two tripartite gable windows on either side that allow views in both directions.

Duke's Road is a traffic restricted street just off Woburn Walk, near the churchyard of the historic neoclassical masterpiece of St Pancras Parish Church.

Conveniently located for transport, Euston station is a stone's throw from the property and provides both Underground and National rail connections. Both King's Cross (Metropolitan, Piccadilly, Victoria, Northern, Hammersmith and City, Circle lines and National Rail) and St Pancras International stations are also a short distance away (0.5 miles). World class shopping, dining and hotel facilities can be found at King's Cross including the newly open Coaldrops Yard amongst many others.

The main campus of University College London is also easily accessible.
