The Islington area is renowned for its fashionable edge, that innate sense of style that attracts so many bright young things and successful professionals to its streets. This appeal is obviously good news for the local lettings market, which continues to thrive as autumn gets well and truly underway.
As well as families who are drawn to the larger houses found in Barnsbury and Cannonbury, we see large numbers of corporate tenants attracted to the strong connections to the City and high quality lifestyle to be found on and around Upper Street.
And there is no shortage of beautifully finished property here to suit their needs, not to mention an abundance of quirky homes that continue to contribute to this area's reputation for cutting edge cool. This month I'd like to celebrate this by introducing a property that fuses two of the best elements this area has to offer: style and space.
Set back from Matilda Street in Barnsbury, this chic three bedroomed house is a symphony of glass and light, with large, airy rooms, sleek, modern appliances and a highly polished finish.
Reached at the end of a smart paved driveway flanked with lush greenery, its impressive exterior is a breathtaking display of frosted and clear panels of glass arranged in the same clean lines that are characteristic of the property as a whole.
A cubic-style skylight in the kitchen/dining area acts as the perfect complement to this, and unsurprisingly the entire interior is flooded with natural light.
An ideal example of the very best this area has to offer, this truly is an extraordinary property and one I'm sure will not be on the market for long. Foxtons.co.uk/2324656 This lovely three bedroomed terrace house on Baring Street recently let through us.
The property, which comes complete with a pretty secluded garden, let for 580 per week 30 per week over the asking price as the tenants were so keen to secure it. They signed a 12 month contract for the home.
