Summary - Canonbury Road, N1 N1 2DF
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Spacious period two-bedroom with rare private garden and excellent transport links.
Two double bedrooms with bright, high-ceilinged reception and large sash windows
Private mature garden with patio and lawn — rare for central London flats
Approx. 775 sq ft split-level layout; reception and kitchen semi open-plan
Close to Upper Street, Essex Road and Highbury & Islington transport links
Lease c.95 years remaining — important for mortgage/long-term planning
Solid brick walls and secondary glazing; may require insulation upgrades
Single bathroom plus separate WC on half-landing; typical lower-ground ceiling heights
Local area shows high crime and very deprived area statistics — factual consideration
Set within the Canonbury conservation area, this split-level two double-bedroom apartment offers a rare private garden in central Islington. The raised ground reception and semi open-plan kitchen are bright, with large sash windows and high ceilings that give a spacious, airy feel. The lower-ground bedrooms and bathroom open directly to a mature garden with patio and lawn — a valuable outdoor asset for central-London living.
The flat sits close to Upper Street, Essex Road and Highbury & Islington transport links, putting shops, restaurants and green space minutes away. At about 775 sq ft the layout suits first-time buyers or couples who value character, outside space and easy commuting. Decorative order is described as good and built-in storage helps maximise the available space.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the lease has c.95 years remaining and the property uses secondary glazing with solid brick walls likely lacking insulation. There is a single bathroom, a separate WC on the half-landing and the local area records higher crime and area deprivation statistics. Service charge is modest but council tax is above average.
Overall this period conversion combines character, garden space and excellent transport links, but it will suit purchasers who are comfortable with a sub-100-year lease and who may wish to consider insulation or glazing improvements over time.
