Bright one-bedroom in Canonbury with private outdoor space near Upper Street.
Private street-level entrance for independence and privacy
A well-presented one-bedroom garden flat quietly tucked on a wide, tree-lined street in Canonbury. The property benefits from a private ground-floor entrance and a bright reception room that opens through patio doors onto a south-facing paved courtyard — rare outdoor space for central Islington living. A separate fitted kitchen, a generous double bedroom with two built-in wardrobes and a bathroom with both bath and separate shower complete the accommodation.
This home suits a first-time buyer or buyer seeking a central pied-à-terre with outdoor space. Practical features include double glazing (installed before 2002), mains gas central heating and an EPC rating of C. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and close transport links make the flat convenient for commuting to the City and Shoreditch.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with approximately 88 years remaining and a low ground rent (£10). The building’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, so consider potential energy-improvement works and long-term maintenance costs. The double glazing is older and may be less efficient than modern units.
Set in a popular residential pocket near Essex Road, De Beauvoir and Upper Street, the flat offers immediate lifestyle benefits and reasonable onward rental or resale appeal, but factor the lease length and potential retrofit costs into your valuation and mortgage discussions.
