ISLINGTON
TQ3181NE CHARTERHOUSE STREET 635-1/77/232 (North side) 25/09/90 No.119
GV II
Terraced house. Probably of late C18, but perhaps extensively altered in the early C19, with mid-to-late C19 shopfront, and then altered internally for use as a cold store and offices. Yellow and brown brick set in Flemish bond, roof obscured by parapet. Four storeys, two-window range. Ground-floor shopfront under cornice on scrolled consoles; the shop front has been considerably altered but retains a central portion of mid-to-late C19 date: elliptical-arched fanlight with foliage ornament to spandrels. Upper windows flat-arched with gauged brick heads; decorative iron plates above first-floor windows, that to the left with a monogram, to the right with the date 1855, when the former Smithfield livestock market closed down; these plates are not now connected to any tie bars within the building. Parapet. The rear elevation has some brown brickwork to first and second floors, and 6/6 sashes of original design to second and third floors. The interior of the building has been considerably altered, and there are no original features on the ground floor where the cold store was installed. Staircase with turned newels, stick balusters and originally an open string, which is now only evident on the second flight between ground and first floors; the first flight is boarded up, and from the first floor upwards a closed string has been inserted. A fragment of framed panelling to second flight between ground and first floors, otherwise tongue-and-groove panelling at this level. The door architraves have generally survived throughout the house, and the first-floor back room has a panelled window-embrasure with original shutters; but all fireplaces have been replaced, generally in the mid-to-late C19, and there is no panelling or cornices in any of the rooms.
