Canonbury Lane, Islington, London

David Astburys are delighted to present this beautifully proportioned three-bedroom property to rent, occupying the garden level of an elegant period terrace on one of Canonbury's most desirable residential streets.

Extending to approximately 94 sq. m / 1,012 sq. ft., the property combines generous internal proportions, period character and an exceptional private garden to create a home that is particularly well suited to professional couples and families looking to establish themselves in the heart of Islington.

The accommodation is accessed via its own private street entrance, immediately giving the property a sense of independence more commonly associated with a house than an apartment.

At the heart of the home is a substantial reception room, beautifully arranged to provide generous living and dining areas. Wooden flooring, high ceilings and attractive period proportions give the room real character, while French doors open directly onto the private rear garden, creating a natural connection between the internal and external living spaces.

The south-facing garden is a genuine standout feature. Mature planting, established boundaries and its secluded position create an unusually private outside space for such a central N1 address, providing ample room for outdoor dining, entertaining, children's play or simply enjoying the warmer months.

A smart separate kitchen/diner provides an excellent amount of cabinetry, preparation space and integrated appliances alongside room for informal dining, giving the property both a dedicated entertaining reception and a practical everyday family kitchen.

There are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including generous doubles, with the principal accommodation complemented by two bathrooms, one of which is en-suite. The layout therefore works particularly well for families, couples requiring additional workspace or those looking for versatile guest accommodation without compromising the main living space.

The property further retains a number of attractive original architectural details which sit comfortably alongside its modern kitchen and bathrooms, giving the home considerably more personality than a typical contemporary development.

The location is exceptional. Canonbury Lane sits immediately between Upper Street and Canonbury Square, placing some of Islington's best restaurants, cafés, pubs, boutiques and independent retailers within moments of the front door. Local favourites include The Canonbury Tavern, Smokehouse and the Almeida Theatre, while the wider amenities of Angel and Highbury & Islington are equally accessible.

For families, the location is particularly compelling because of the concentration of highly regarded schools in the surrounding area. William Tyndale Primary School is on Upper Street and extremely close to the property

The wider Islington area also provides access to a strong network of primary and secondary schools. School places are determined through individual admissions criteria and, where relevant, distance-based oversubscription rules rather than a guaranteed fixed property catchment, so applicants should always confirm eligibility directly with the relevant school and Islington Council. The council publishes official annual admissions arrangements and three-year cut-off distance information for families considering local schools.

Transport connections are equally impressive. Highbury & Islington station provides Victoria line, London Overground and National Rail services, while Angel Underground station offers Northern line access. Numerous bus routes along Upper Street provide straightforward connections towards King's Cross, the City, Shoreditch and the West End.

Combining approximately 1,012 sq. ft. of accommodation, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, its own entrance and a wonderfully secluded south-facing private garden, this is a genuinely rare property to rent in one of Canonbury's most sought-after locations and represents an outstanding option for those seeking a long-term family home in central Islington.
