Canonbury Square, N1
Elmore House
£2,450,000
5 bed · 3 bath · 3,120 sq ft · Freehold
Double-fronted, on the west side of the square, with the creeper everyone photographs in October and a garden that runs thirty metres back to a wall of London stock brick.
The house
Elmore House was built in 1841 as one of a pair and has been in the same family since 1978. The plan is unusually generous for the square: two rooms deep on every floor, with a rear extension added in 2011 that the planners made the owners set back by a metre. That metre is why the kitchen gets light until four in the afternoon.
There are five bedrooms across the top two floors. The principal room runs the full width of the front and keeps its original shutters, which still work. Three bathrooms, all fitted within the last six years, and a cloakroom under the stairs that was once a coal store.
The garden
Thirty-one metres, walled on three sides, and laid out in 1994 by a previous owner who knew what they were doing. There is a pear espaliered along the south wall that fruits properly, a lawn that takes a football, and a brick outbuilding at the far end currently used as a studio.
