Upper Street, Islington, London, N1 1QP

Set above the bustle of Upper Street, this beautifully presented four-bedroom Victorian maisonette unfolds across four floors, with its own front door, two private terraces and wonderful views across the mature trees of St Mary’s Church Gardens towards the church itself.

The house-like proportions, tall ceilings and abundance of natural light give the property a particularly generous feel, while its elevated position creates a surprising sense of openness in the very heart of Islington.

INSIDE

The accommodation begins on the first floor, where a generous reception room occupies the front of the building. Two large sash windows frame uninterrupted views across St Mary’s Church Gardens and flood the room with natural light. Walnut flooring, cast-iron radiators and discreet fitted storage add warmth and character without competing with the proportions of the room.

To the rear is a large double bedroom, currently arranged as a home office, with two west-facing sash windows catching the afternoon and evening light. A guest WC completes this level.

One floor above, the kitchen and dining room forms the natural heart of the home. The dining space sits at the front, again taking in the leafy outlook towards St Mary’s Church, while the kitchen occupies the rear. Gloss cabinetry is paired with Corian worktops, glass splashbacks and a full range of integrated appliances, with doors opening directly onto the first of the property's two terraces.

The third floor is given over to two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom.

At the top of the house, the principal bedroom is arranged across the full depth of the building. Dual-aspect glazing brings light in throughout the day, with a Juliet balcony to the rear and direct access to a second private terrace at the front. The room also has its own en-suite bathroom.

OUTSIDE

Outdoor space is unusually generous for such a central Islington position.

The terrace adjoining the kitchen creates an easy extension of the living space and is particularly well suited to summer dining, while the upper terrace is altogether more elevated and private, sitting amongst the treetops with views across St Mary’s Church Gardens and towards the church.

NEIGHBOURHOOD & CONNECTIONS

Upper Street needs little introduction, and the house is particularly well placed to enjoy the best of it. Camden Passage and Cross Street are moments away, bringing together independent shops, restaurants, cafés and delicatessens, while the Almeida Theatre is barely a minute from the front door.

Upper Street is fondly nicknamed ‘Supper Street’, thanks to an almost endless choice of places to eat and drink. Newer arrivals include Carmela’s, an Italian-American pizzeria, alongside Bistro Sable and neighbouring Sable Wines, while established favourites such as The Tamil Prince and Trullo remain firmly on the local map. And then there are the institutions, not least Fredericks, which has been part of Islington’s dining scene for generations.

Despite the central setting, the outlook across St Mary’s Church Gardens gives the house an immediate connection to one of Upper Street's most attractive green spaces.

Angel station is a short walk away for the Northern Line, while Highbury & Islington provides Victoria line, London Overground and National Rail services, making journeys across central, east and north London straightforward.
