On the leafy streets of north London, this traditional home has been lovingly restored into a private city sanctuary. Spread across four floors, the owners have retained the original period features whilst integrating a range of personal touches and contemporary comforts. From the light-dappled rooms and soft natural tones to the art and objects, every detail has been considered to enrich daily living with joy and ease. And with multiple living spaces alongside a fully equipped kitchen and three snug bedrooms, this is the kind of space that inspires you to settle in and make it your own. Wake up to views across the towering trees, savour the tranquillity of the garden, relax in the bath and come together for candlelit meals and cosy evenings by the fire. However you choose to spend your time here, every moment promises to be enriched by the effortless style and calm simplicity of this space. From here, stroll along the atmospheric streets of Canonbury to Islington’s vibrant Upper Street.

About Canonbury

Canonbury is one of the most friendly and unpretentious pockets of Islington, packed full of gorgeous period houses, independent cafes and antique shops. Extremely well connected transport-wise by the Victoria Line from Highbury and Islington station, it works well as a base to explore both Central London and more villagey areas like Stoke Newington further to the East. You'll be rubbing shoulders with trendy media types and affluent young families and working out how to move here long-term yourself.
