Summary - 130a, Downham Road N1 3HJ
3 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Private garden and high ceilings on a quiet, tree-lined Canonbury street.
Three double bedrooms across raised and lower ground floors
Set over raised and lower ground floors of a handsome Victorian terrace, this 3‑double-bedroom maisonette delivers generous floorplate and a private rear garden — a rare find for central Islington. High ceilings, original sash windows with shutters and hardwood floors create a bright, characterful living space; the separate kitchen overlooks the garden and provides sensible worktop and storage space. Two double bedrooms sit on the lower ground level with a third bedroom off the landing, giving flexible sleeping arrangements for a family or sharers.
Practical points are clear and fact-based: the flat comes with a private entrance, share of freehold and around 92 years remaining on the lease. Heating is by gas boiler and radiators; double glazing was installed post‑2002. The private garden (approx 9.8 x 6.1 m) is the standout amenity for city buyers — large enough for entertaining, gardening and storage, which significantly increases usable living space in central London.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: there is a single bathroom for three double bedrooms, the building has solid brick walls with assumed lack of cavity insulation, and the council tax band is above average. The property appears well maintained externally but offers scope for light modernisation internally — a practical opportunity to add value but requiring budget and planning. Transport links, shops and schools are within easy reach, making this a strong option for families, professionals and investors seeking a period conversion with outdoor space in East Canonbury.
