3 bed detached house for sale

Canonbury Road, Canonbury, Islington, London N1

A striking and discreetly located modernist residence, set behind a secure gated entrance. This architect-designed three-bedroom home with landscaped garden and private courtyard blends privacy, functionality and light in one of Islington’s most desirable locations.
Inside


Entry is via a private, walled courtyard with solid timber doors that open into a generous foyer. The house immediately impresses with its volume—vaulted ceiling heights, warm oak floors, and a fluid open-plan layout define the lower level. At its centre is the dramatic reception, dining and kitchen space—extending over 33 feet—with natural light pouring in via glazed panels and a series of internal skylights.

The kitchen is sleek and minimal, with high-gloss units, built-in appliances and a moveable central island, all under a pitched glass roof. A bar-height timber counter connects the kitchen to the living space, ideal for casual dining or entertaining. At the rear, oversized wooden bi-folding doors fully open to a beautifully landscaped split-level garden, finished with York stone, stacked slate and established planting—creating an effortless indoor-outdoor flow.

Also on the ground floor is a large study (which can serve as a third bedroom), complete with custom joinery, fitted wardrobes, and garden views. Adjacent is a guest shower room and WC.
Upstairs, two generously proportioned double bedrooms both benefit from built-in wardrobes - one features an - en suite bathroom, with an additional family bathroom also on this level. The principal bedroom includes dual-aspect windows and contemporary cabinetry, while both en suites feature walk-in showers, heated towel rails and modern tiling.
