About this property

Elegant Georgian Townhouse | Private Garden | Heart of Islington

Discover a beautifully restored Georgian townhouse in one of Islington's most desirable streets — a rare blend of period elegance, contemporary comfort, and genuine tranquillity, just moments from the best of London.
The Home
Spread across four light-filled floors, this characterful residence has been thoughtfully curated with mid-century furnishings, modern art, and striking portraiture throughout. Georgian architectural details — original handrails, maximised nook spaces, pendant drop lamps — sit effortlessly alongside chef-quality appliances and high-design touches, including a Ligne Roset sofa bed.
The ground floor offers two beautifully appointed reception rooms. The front lounge features a streaming TV, plush sofa, and armchairs — perfect for evenings in. The rear reception is a quiet reading room with garden views, flooded with natural light and a sense of calm. A guest washroom is also on this floor.
One floor up, a fully equipped kitchen and formal dining room both overlook the garden. The kitchen features state-of-the-art appliances, a dishwasher, and everything needed for serious home cooking. A breakfast counter with mid-century stools is perfect for morning coffee. The space flows naturally into a comfortable seating area, ideal for relaxed evenings.
The top floor houses the main bedroom and a bright, sunlit study with a Ligne Roset sofa, ideal as a second sleeping space or a workspace.
The Garden
Step outside to a private, beautifully landscaped garden — a genuine rarity in central London. Lush greenery, vibrant flower beds, and a well-maintained deck create an idyllic setting for morning coffee, evening drinks, or summer gatherings. In spring and summer, it truly resembles a museum painting.
The Location
Set on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Islington, you're a short stroll from independent boutiques, cafes, restaurants, and excellent transport links. Union Chapel is 9 minutes on foot, Emirates Stadium is 18 minutes, and the O2 Academy Islington is just 12 minutes away. Nearby parks and green spaces make this an ideal base, whether you're here for culture, football, or to enjoy one of London's most vibrant neighbourhoods.
There are two lovely, well-behaved cats on the property. We will arrange care for them. If you are happy to do it yourself and have experience, we would be happy with that too.

Welcome to our home — we hope you love it as much as we do. A few simple guidelines to help everyone have a great experience:
Guests & Gatherings — Please allow only registered guests to stay overnight. Small gatherings are welcome; loud parties or events are not.
Noise — Please be considerate of neighbours, particularly in the evenings.
Smoking & Vaping — The home and garden are strictly smoke-free.
Kitchen — Enjoy it fully! Please clean as you go and avoid placing hot pans directly on the countertops.
Garden — Please treat the plants and flowers with care. If rain is expected, please bring the furniture cushions inside.
Check-Out — A simple check-out list is included in the welcome pack. Please return furniture and items to their original positions before leaving.
Security — Please lock all doors and close windows when leaving the property.
Damage — Accidents happen — just let us know promptly, and we'll sort it out together.
All prices include fee—no hidden charges.

Excellent experience: very large multi-story unit, well-equipped, friendly cats, fast internet and very responsive hosts. Quiet neighbourhood with excellent restaurants, pubs and shops nearby. The garden and wood-burning fireplace made it feel like home. This is the hosts' home, so it's not for those looking for a more sterile "hotel-like" experience, but a great spot to experience life in the Islington/Caledonian/Highbury area.

Wonderful home, magical garden and location

We had a terrific stay at this Islington retreat — it’s a perfect location: close to restaurants and parks and public transportation to anywhere in the city, but on a quiet and idyllic street where it’s easy to feel away from it all. The house is thoughtfully and creatively designed, both welcoming and aesthetically distinctive. We loved spending time with the the cats, Frankie and Dr Che, who are both sweethearts. Would come back in a heartbeat, thank you!!
