Description
Here is a rare opportunity to acquire a unique home in leafy, secluded Canonbury, Islington’s most sought-after quarter where properties rarely come on the market – and then at multi-million-pound prices.
This wonderful two-story (ground & first) maisonette has all the appearance of a house, with its own front entrance and internal staircase, views in all four directions, and exceptional privacy and quiet.
Inside, you will find light, generously-proportioned rooms, original features and modern comforts. Outside, direct access to beautiful, sunny, well-maintained private gardens of about 1/3 acre - great for alfresco cocktails and dining.
Entered from an imposing front door, the wide hall is floored in black-and-white ceramic tiles, with an arched, shuttered window to the side. This leads to a spacious, dual-aspect 20ft x 14ft reception/dining room with high ceilings, working marble fireplace, triple-arched windows with balconette, and French doors to the garden.
The kitchen is fully-equipped, with handmade Harvey Jones wood cabinets, granite work surfaces, and integrated fridge and dishwasher. Upstairs, the master bedroom has the same large dimensions and triple-arched windows as the living room, which contains an en suite shower and built in airing cupboard and wardrobe. Above it, an unusually extensive attic offers boarded storage accessed by automatic ladder.
Bedroom 2, currently used as a study, makes an ideal guestroom, looking out over Canonbury’s delightful New River and its park.
Just around the corner you’ll find the many restaurants, bars, theatres and cinemas of Islington’s exciting Upper Street. Also within easy walking distance are extensive public transport facilities: Underground stations at Highbury & Islington (0.5 mile) and Angel (0.7 mile), buses to central London and the City (2 miles), and Kings Cross/St Pancras station (1.5 miles) for Eurostar and trains to North and South.
The current owner has lived here in Alwyne Road for 18 happy years and is relocating now just around the corner because of career demands. This is a chance to take his place – and one not to be missed.
