Owned by the same family for thirty-six years, this rarely available five-bedroom Georgian family home in the Canonbury Conservation Area of Islington, is looking for its next custodian.

Information

Full Details

This Grade II-listed semi-detached villa, built in 1845, sits back from the street, shaded by the feathery foliage of a mature acacia tree. With the stately grandeur of its London stock brick and stucco façade, it cuts a handsome figure along the beautifully maintained row of houses. Owned by the same family for 36 years, its architectural pedigree and exceptional location offer an extraordinary opportunity for new custodians to shape the next chapter of its life.

Spanning approximately 220 sq m, the house unfolds over three spacious floors. On the ground floor, a wide entrance hall with traditional Victorian tiling leads to a grand double reception room, painted a zesty yellow and divided by pocket doors. Light pours in through large six-over-six sash windows framed by original shutters, while intricate cornicing encircles the ceiling. A substantial black marble fireplace is flanked by built-in cabinetry.

The eye is drawn towards the rear reception room, where an original Georgian door opens onto the 16-meter, south-facing garden. A dining room, part of a previous side and rear extension, sits alongside and also opens to the garden, creating a wonderful sense of flow and a lateral layout perfectly suited to modern family life.

A separate cloakroom and utility room are tucked neatly away, while the well-appointed kitchen enjoys views over the lush greenery outside. Below, the cellar provides ideal conditions for wine storage, currently housing the owner’s personal collection.

Ascending the polished mahogany staircase, the original eight-over-eight sash windows continue to frame leafy vistas and flood the upper floors with natural light. On the first floor, the main bedroom is generously proportioned and features built-in wardrobes and a marble fireplace. Two further double bedrooms and a convenient shower room complete this level, while the second floor offers an additional bathroom and two more bedrooms.

Outside, the mature garden is a quiet triumph, lovingly tended over the decades and now a tapestry of climbing roses, trailing ivy and established planting, offering both privacy and tranquillity.

Map

Tucked away in a quiet pocket of Islington, Canonbury is widely considered as one of London’s best-kept secrets. There’s an understated elegance to the area – rows of Georgian and early Victorian homes sit behind leafy front gardens, and the streets have a calm, almost timeless quality. The green spaces of Highbury Fields is nearby as well New River Walk, which was built in the 17th Century and is a mostly undiscovered gem in the area offering a peaceful path alongside the babbling waterway.

Canonbury Park North is brilliantly situated with independent restaurants and cultural institutions of Upper Street to the north and the established elegance of De Beauvoir to the south. There are also excellent transport links close by including the Overground and Highbury & Islington station which has national rail services as well as the Victoria Line.



The picturesque lawn is encased by high hedgerows offering privacy and a sense of tranquility.
