Myddelton Square, London

Dating from 1824, this substantial Grade II listed Georgian home occupies a particularly distinguished position overlooking Myddelton Square, one of Clerkenwell’s most prestigious addresses. Extending to approximately 3,281 sq ft, the house combines grand proportions and an impressive collection of original period features with generous and versatile accommodation arranged over five floors.

A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, with impressive ceiling heights, original coving and a beautifully preserved staircase with a sweeping balustrade. To the left lies a magnificent dual-aspect kitchen/dining room. Positioned at the front of the house, the elegant dining area enjoys lovely views across the mature trees at the northern end of Myddelton Square through a striking arched sash window, which retains many of its original panes of glass. This graceful room is further enhanced by original coving, an ornate ceiling rose, a period fireplace with decorative surround, high skirting boards, parquet flooring and original wooden room dividers.

To the rear, the kitchen overlooks the attractive south-facing garden, where mature trees and established planting create a wonderfully private oasis. Fitted with cream cabinetry and granite worktops providing generous preparation space, the kitchen also benefits from tiled flooring and fully integrated appliances. A convenient cloakroom completes the raised ground floor.

Occupying the entire first floor is a magnificent double reception room, flooded with natural light from two floor-to-ceiling sash windows to the front, opening onto a full-length balcony with original wrought iron railings, and a large south-facing sash window to the rear. The views are exceptional, taking in the leafy surroundings of Myddelton Square, its handsome Georgian architecture and the striking spire of St Mark’s Church. This superb entertaining space boasts impressive ceiling heights and an abundance of original period detailing, including intricate coving, elegant ceiling roses and a feature fireplace with an ornate Georgian mantelpiece. From the half-landing, a charming south-facing terrace provides a peaceful spot to relax while overlooking the neighbouring gardens.

The second floor is dedicated to the impressive principal suite. Wonderfully proportioned, the bedroom enjoys delightful views down Myddelton Square through two large sash windows and retains its original coving. A dressing area flows seamlessly from the bedroom, leading through to a generous en-suite bathroom.

The top floor comprises two further well-proportioned double bedrooms and a large shower room. The rear bedroom enjoys far-reaching views towards St Paul’s Cathedral and The Shard, adding to the home’s remarkable outlook.

The lower ground floor offers excellent versatility, featuring two additional bedrooms, a kitchenette, a bathroom, a utility room, and direct access to both the rear garden and the front vaults. This flexible level offers excellent potential for family, guests or home-working accommodation.
