Full Description
Location
Canonbury is a small residential district within the London Borough of Islington. One of the most popular areas in Islington, it has a rich literary, artistic and theatrical history, having boasted George Orwell, Evelyn Waugh, Samuel Phelps and more recently Cate Blanchett and Emma Watson as residents.
Pretty tree lined streets feature a mix of Victorian, Georgian and Neo Georgian architecture. Most properties in the area benefit from communal or private gardens, and the open space of Highbury Fields is only a short walk away. The New River is at the centre of the area. Built as an aqueduct in the 18th Century to supply fresh water from Hertfordshire to Central London, it is now a beautiful stretch of leafy urban serenity, and the streets surrounding the river, including Willow Bridge Road, "The Alwynes" (Alwyne Road and Alwyne Place) and Canonbury Park South, are virtually devoid of through traffic and are among the most desirable addresses in North London.
Canonbury has some independent shops along Canonbury Lane and several popular gastro pubs pubs and restaurants, but with Upper Street close at hand, most shopping, drinking and dining experiences are to be had there. The world famous Almeida Theatre is close by, as are several other smaller but no less creative theatrical venues.
Description
The house retains many period features including original fireplaces, beautiful cornicing, wooden floors and sash windows. These period features blend seamlessly with the many modern touches such as main lighting system (Lutron) and Ventrolla window insulation.
On the ground level there is an elegant double reception room which the current owners use as a formal dining room and study. There is a stunning glass conservatory at the rear, with pretty views onto the rear garden. The first floor offers an impressive drawing room, with three large floor to ceiling windows and balcony with views out onto Canonbury Square and a peaceful library with views over the garden. The master bedroom is very grand, and is located on the second floor, with original fireplace and very modern bathroom fixtures and fittings. There is a separate WC at this level. There are three further bedrooms on the third floor, along with a family bathroom.
The lower ground floor has a fantastic kitchen/diner, with top quality fixtures and fittings, under floor heating, glass ceiling and sliding door leading straight out onto the patio and garden. There is a useful utility room and additional reception room, which can be used as a bedroom, home office or playroom. There is a further WC, along with two under-pavement storage vaults. The garden at the rear is of a good size and there is a garage (16' x 9'8), ideal for a small car and perfect for storage.
