About this home

An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and beautifully renovated Georgian maisonette, occupying one of Bloomsbury's most prestigious and architecturally celebrated streets.

Set behind its own private street entrance on John Street, this remarkable home extends to approximately 3,600 sq ft, arranged over two well-balanced levels. The property has been comprehensively refurbished throughout, blending refined contemporary finishes with an abundance of original period features, including sash windows with shutters, high ceilings with ornate cornicing, period fireplaces and elegant proportions throughout.

The ground floor is dedicated to impressive living and entertaining space, comprising a grand reception room, a separate cinema room, a stylish dining room and a bespoke fitted kitchen with island, complemented by a pantry and guest cloakroom. These rooms enjoy excellent natural light and create a wonderful sense of scale and flow.

The lower ground floor provides four generous double bedrooms, each benefiting from its own en-suite bathroom and excellent storage, including walk-in wardrobes. A utility room and additional storage areas further enhance the practicality of the accommodation, while a small courtyard provides valuable private outdoor space.

John Street is widely regarded as one of Bloomsbury's finest Georgian terraces, steeped in history and architectural significance. The property is ideally positioned for access to Gray's Inn Gardens, Mecklenburgh Square and the cultural and academic institutions for which Bloomsbury is renowned. Soho, Covent Garden and the West End are all within comfortable walking distance, while the major transport hubs of King's Cross, St Pancras and Euston are easily accessible.

This is a truly unique, turnkey home of considerable scale, character and presence, offering a rare combination of privacy, elegance and prime central London living.
