Description
Doughty Street defines Bloomsbury; it is most famous as being the home of Charles Dickens. This particular house also has literary connections and sports a ‘Blue Plaque’ (which is confusingly brown) celebrating Sydney Smith, Clergyman, Author & Wit who lived there soon after it was built in 1799.
The wide and treelined street is architecturally significant and contains virtually intact Georgian terraces on both sides as it heads north from John Street to Mecklenburgh Square.
14 Doughty Street has been in the same ownership for 40 years and has been a wonderful and comfortable family home. It is awash with original features and charming architectural details. Its listing specifically mentions the wine cellar, staircase and first floor room configuration.
The accommodation is split over five floors. The top level has three rooms plus a bathroom and kitchenette.
On the floor below are the two principal bedrooms and family bathroom.
The first floor contains two connecting reception rooms typical of the style, with impressive proportions, windows, fireplaces and ceiling height.
Entrance from Doughty Street brings you into the entrance hall . There are two generous reception rooms, again typical of its style, a guest WC and beyond that a lobby room and access to the Garden.
The lower Ground floor has impressive ceiling height. It contains the modern kitchen and a large dining/relaxing area plus a smaller dining area to the rear looking to the Garden. The lower ground floor receives good light from both the street as well as the garden.
Special mention has to be given to the large walled garden. It is not overly manicured but is obviously well loved and cared for in the English style. In addition there are two head-height vaults, one of which is the laundry room.
Doughty Street gives good and easy access to the Legal Quarter, the major rail termini, UCL, SOAS, UCH, The City and The West End. Restaurants and shopping are all walkable at The Brunswick Centre and Lambs Conduit Street. The nearest Underground stations are Russell Square and Holborn.
