Set on the first floor overlooking Canonbury Square, this elegant two-bedroom home combines Georgian proportions with practical living. High ceilings, original sash windows and refined cornicing create a bright, airy reception room; the kitchen overlooks the well-maintained communal garden. At 817 sq ft the layout offers comfortable bedrooms, a modern family bathroom and useful basement storage.
The building is Grade II listed and lies within a conservation area, so repairs or alterations will need consent and may be more costly. The 98-year lease (approximately) and leasehold status are important considerations for long-term ownership and mortgage availability. Service charge and council tax are above local averages; an annual service charge of about £3,544 and a small ground rent of £150 apply.
Transport links are strong, with Highbury & Islington and Canonbury stations within easy walking distance. Local schools include several highly rated primaries and secondaries, and Upper Street’s shops, cafés and restaurants are close by. The property is best suited to couples or small families seeking period character, city convenience and a garden outlook, while valuing the responsibilities of listed ownership.
