Standing proud in one of Bloomsbury’s most enviable locations, a Grade II Listed Queen Anne home has come to the market with DEXTERS. Arranged over four floors, and with elegant original features, the home is available for sale at £2.95 million.

Located in Lamb’s Conduit Street, a partly pedestrianised stretch of Bloomsbury with a village feel, the exquisite Grade II Listed home presents a symmetrical façade comprised of the fine and warm-toned brickwork typical of Queen Anne architectural style. The property, built in 1711, maintains its charm with traditional period features retained throughout its 2,000 sq. ft. interior, including wood panelling, and an original Listed staircase, with barley-twist balusters, and carved tread ends.

DEXTERS notes that there is strong demand for homes with their own front doors or private entrances, with the addition of original period features another draw; buyers appreciate the proportions and sense of light from large sash windows such as the ones in Lamb’s Conduit Street.

The private entrance reveals a 30ft tiled hallway with stairs leading to the first floor. The area opens out into a grand reception room furnished with two full-length sash windows that bathe the room in natural light while looking out onto the picturesque street scene below. While the generous proportions provide a light and airy feel, the working fireplace and period wooden flooring have charm and character. Double doors lead to a dining room with a further fireplace and a sash window to the rear, while impressive wooden fitted bookcases speak to Bloomsbury’s literary history. The two rooms combine to create a perfect space for hosting dinner parties and entertaining guests. A modern fitted kitchen completes the first floor accommodation.

The principal bedroom on the second floor has an identical footprint to the main reception below and benefits from the natural illumination of two sash windows. A feature fireplace, ornate cornicing, and wooden panelling are reminiscent of the property’s history and gives a warm, intimate feel to the space. A further bedroom on the same floor enjoys a beautiful fireplace and sash window, in addition to fitted wardrobes that provide the option for it to be used as a dressing room. An en suite bathroom with stylish cream and maroon tiling and a modern walk-in shower enhances the space.

There are two further bedrooms on the third floor, one benefitting from fitted wardrobes, which present the opportunity for one to be used as a home office to meet modern working styles. The bedrooms are served by a bright family bathroom incorporating sleek white sanitaryware set against stone effect tiling and storage in dark wood. The addition of a utility/laundry room offers the perfect companion to busy family life, providing a space in which to organise and store all the necessary practicalities, so the period features and unique detailing of this beautiful property can shine.

The cobblestone lanes of Lamb’s Conduit Street are tucked away in London’s historic and picturesque neighbourhood of Bloomsbury, known for its association with The Arts, education, medicine, and notable residents such as Charles Dickens and Virginia Woolf. The area itself provides a village shopping experience with a host of amenities and boutique shops, including places to eat and drink, a deli, a grocer, a chemist, a florist, a doctor’s surgery, a bookshop, and more. Residents enjoy fast public transport links with close proximity to Russell Square and Euston Square tube stations, making it easy to get around the City.

Michael Keating, Sales Director of DEXTERS Bloomsbury says: “Lamb’s Conduit Street is known for being one of the best locations for independent retailers and gentlemen’s finest fashion; today, the charming cobbled street makes a wonderful home address, well positioned for enjoying all local amenities. We are delighted to be representing this elegant home, it is perfect for a buyer to modernise and put their stamp on it. The property has its own private entrance which is a huge plus, as well as many retained original features with the sash windows which let in an abundance of light, the listed staircase brings grandeur, the home has an enduring charm.”
