About this home
Thoughtfully converted pub, once the Prince Albert, a historic Truman's pub (1922) in Kings Cross, now an exceptional contemporary residence. The open-plan living/dining/kitchen retains authentic period character whilst featuring a contemporary kitchen with bespoke carpentry, quality integrated appliances and premium finishes, perfect for entertaining and everyday living. Vast light wells flood the bedrooms with natural illumination, complemented by plantain shutters for privacy and summer heat management. State-of-the-art climate systems deliver year-round comfort, efficient underfloor heating on the ground floor and air conditioning, whilst advanced MVHR ventilation eliminates condensation and maintains fresh air throughout. The adaptable guest bedroom or home office provides flexible living options. The principal bathroom is a striking feature, situated in the original cellar and now a contemporary wet room with distinctive period character. A second bathroom with integrated utility space provides independent facilities for guests and residents. Herringbone wooden flooring flows throughout, and enhanced PAS24 security locks to front doors provide complete peace of mind, with adjacent bike storage supporting an active lifestyle. Kings Cross has undergone a remarkable transformation into London's most vibrant cultural quarter. The £2bn regeneration blends heritage with cutting-edge development, creating a thriving destination with world-class dining, independent shopping on Exmouth Market, and cultural venues including the British Library and Coal Drops Yard. Unrivalled transport connectivity via Kings Cross station serving the London Underground, National Rail and Eurostar makes this location perfect for both city exploration and European escapes. Tree-lined streets, the Regent's Canal path, and a young, professional community complete the package.
