3 Bed Terraced House, Refurb/BRRR, London, N1 0LA £2,150,000

Double French doors open onto a garden designed by celebrated landscape designers Tomalik & Gunia. The outdoor terrace is framed by herbaceous shrubs, with dark grey quarry tiles providing a striking contrast to the winding gravel path that draws the eye through the space. The garden features a mature cherry tree alongside a rich variety of evergreens, plants, and flowers. At the far end, a children's play area offers a den-like retreat and could also accommodate a proposed studio, as indicated on the floorplan.

The renovation included an extensive program of works, encompassing rewiring, replumbing, repointing, restoration of all timber sash windows, installation of a new lead roof in utility room, and comprehensive damp proofing throughout.

Part of the Barnsbury Conservation Area in Islington, Matilda Street is lined with handsome Georgian façades and is just moments from popular local pubs, including The Albion and The Draper's Arms. Opposite St Andrew's CofE Primary School, residents benefit from an exemption from traffic restrictions, allowing them to drive and park freely. The house also faces Barnard Park, recently relandscaped, and is close to a variety of eateries, from Sunday café and restaurant for brunch to The Tamil Prince and the beloved local Italian, La Taberna.

A 10-minute stroll brings you to the vibrant buzz of Upper Street, home to independent shops, restaurants, and cultural venues including the Almeida Theatre and Screen on the Green. Transport links are excellent, with Canonbury and Barnsbury stations on the Overground, Highbury & Islington and Caledonian Road stations serving the Victoria and Piccadilly lines, plus connections to national rail and a range of local buses.

A short walk west brings you to the waterside calm of Granary Square, where wide stone steps cascade down to the Regent's Canal and cafés spill out around one of London's largest public squares. Just beyond, Coal Drops Yard hums with energy, its beautifully reworked Victorian railway arches now home to a curated mix of independent boutiques, design-led brands and destination restaurants, from relaxed wine bars to late-night favourites. It's a place that feels both urban and considered - social without ever being overwhelming.

Transport connections are equally compelling. King's Cross Station and St Pancras International are close at hand, offering access to six Underground lines, national rail services and Eurostar connections to Paris, Brussels and beyond. Whether commuting across the city or heading further afield, the area is exceptionally well connected, making this a location that balances neighbourhood living with truly global reach.
