The Canonbury Garden Retreat

Set across the ground and lower ground floors of a handsome building in Canonbury, Islington, this tastefully decorated 2-bedroom maisonette apartment offers high ceilings, striking arched windows, and a private garden in one of North London's most appealing neighbourhoods. Canonbury overground station is a 2-minute walk away, with trains to Camden, Hampstead Heath and Shoreditch High Street for the heart of the city. Highbury & Islington tube station is approximately 12 minutes on foot (or one stop on the overground), with Victoria Line trains reaching Oxford Circus in just 7 minutes.

Upper Street, colloquially known as Supper Street for its wealth of superb dining options, is easily reachable on foot or by bus. On the ground floor, the hallway opens into a beautifully proportioned open-plan living and dining area flooded with natural light from large, attractive arched windows and lovely high ceilings. Two sofas and armchairs create a comfortable sitting area, with artwork on the walls adding warmth and character. A balcony off the dining area provides steps down to the private garden, where a dining table on the patio invites al fresco meals and relaxed afternoons outdoors.

The fully equipped kitchen sits adjacent to the dining area, with a double oven, fridge, freezer, and dishwasher making self-catering easy and enjoyable. Downstairs on the lower ground level, the guest bedroom features a double sofa bed with a quality mattress and desk space, surrounded by plenty of books for a cosy, lived-in feel. Its marble-tiled en-suite bathroom includes a walk-in shower, toilet, and sink, with a laundry alcove next door housing a washing machine and separate tumble dryer.

The master bedroom is a calm retreat with a super king bed, large windows looking onto the garden, and ample storage. A shared bathroom nearby offers a bathtub with overhead shower, single sink, and toilet. A large bookcase lines the hallway leading to the garden, and stairs connect back up to the dining area and outdoor space. With its period proportions, private garden, and outstanding Canonbury location close to excellent transport and Islington's best dining, this maisonette makes a wonderful short-term rental for couples, small families, or anyone seeking a characterful London base with genuine outdoor space.
