Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial commercial building on Wharfdale Road, King's Cross, benefiting from planning permission granted under permitted development rights for change of use from office (Class E) to a single residential dwelling (Class C3). The property is situated within the Keystone Conservation Area, though it is not itself a listed building. Arranged from basement to the third floor, the approved scheme provides a versatile three-bedroom house extending to approximately 2,330 sq ft (216.5 sq m).

The basement level provides flexible living space including a TV room or home gym, a utility room, WC, generous internal and external storage as well as access to the front courtyard. The ground floor comprises the entrance hall and a study, together with dedicated space for bike and refuse storage. The first floor is arranged as an open-plan kitchen and living/dining room, ideal for entertaining, with further storage off the landing.

The second floor houses two double bedrooms served by a family bathroom, while the third floor is dedicated to a third bedroom with its own ensuite. Access to the internal garden can be gained either directly from the third bedroom or from the landing.

This represents an excellent opportunity for an owner-occupier looking to create a substantial family home in the heart of King's Cross.

EPC: D (to be reassessed following change of use to residential)
Council Tax: TBC (Band to be assigned by the London Borough of Islington upon change of use)

Location
Wharfdale Road is a quiet, tree-lined residential street set back from the noise of the main routes, yet within a short walk of King's Cross St Pancras and the amenities of the wider King's Cross estate, including Coal Drops Yard and the Regent's Canal

The wider King's Cross regeneration area offers an excellent choice of restaurants, bars and independent shops, alongside regular markets and outdoor events on Granary Square itself. Caledonian Road and York Way provide further local amenities.

Transport links from this position are exceptional. King's Cross St Pancras station is within close proximity, providing access to the Victoria, Northern, Piccadilly, Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan Underground lines, together with Thameslink and National Rail services. Eurostar services to Paris, Brussels and beyond depart from St Pancras International, while direct Piccadilly line connections make Heathrow Airport straightforward to reach, alongside fast Thameslink links to Gatwick and Luton airports.
