Sitting in the corner of a charming Georgian square not too far from King's Cross, this home has a few surprises up its sleeve. The first is its sheer size. Spread across four floors, there's a wealth of space in which large groups can gather and spend time together. And this isn't all inside, either – in a city in which outdoor space is highly coveted, this townhouse benefits from not just one, but two terraces. One of these is up on the roof, while the other is a pleasant, plant-filled garden with plenty of seating and a barbecue. Back inside, the design leans on the traditional side, although there are a fair few quirky features inside. The wall mural in the living room is particularly pretty, as is the eclectic collection of artwork that lines the walls and the Mediterranean-style tiles in the bathrooms. If these aren't to your taste, the view of the leafy garden square from the large windows might just well be. Despite being right in the heart of London, the immediate area feels quiet and residential, although you don't have too far to walk if you're after a distraction or two. The neighbourhood is well-covered when it comes... to museums, with institutions dedicated to Charles Dickens, the Post Office and even funeral history reached in ten minutes on foot. The daddy of them all, The British Museum, is only a twenty-minute walk, too.
