The Wooden House is a very rare example of an affordable freehold property in one of Islington’s best locations. Built in 1998 to a design by the architect Andy Anderson, it is situated on a no-through road in the Barnsbury Conservation Area.

Accommodation is arranged over three floors, and measures approximately 684 sq ft. There is a reception room on the ground floor, with an open-tread staircase up to a double bedroom and a bathroom with a roll-top bath. The flat roof can be accessed from the landing via a skylight. The lower ground floor contains an open-plan kitchen and dining room, which has walls of textured render and bespoke storage beneath the stairs.

Externally, the house is clad in timber, with louvered panels at first-floor level that slide across to create greater transparency or privacy as required. The reception room on the ground floor has opaque glass at the front, and high-level clear glazing to the rear.

Crescent Street runs between Offord Road and Huntingdon Street. The Underground is available at Highbury & Islington (Victoria Line), and Overground services can be found at Caledonian Road & Barnsbury. The Eurostar at Kings Cross is also easily accessible. Green space is provided by nearby Thornhill Square, Barnsbury Square and Barnard Park, as well as Highbury Fields slightly further away. Barnsbury has some very good gastro-pubs, notably the Drapers Arms and the Albion. The shops and restaurants of Upper Street are also within walking distance.
