2-bedroom Flat for rent at Napier Terrace, London, N1

A rare chance to rent a spacious 881 sq ft two storey maisonette with two large bedrooms and separate study and private garden, tucked away on a quiet, no-through-traffic street in the heart of Barnsbury. The garden backs directly onto the greenery of Battishill Street Gardens and keeps the home cool during Summer.

The ground floor opens into a bright reception with a solid oak fitted dining area, flowing through to a well-equipped kitchen fitted with a Bosch gas hob, Bosch electric oven and Bosch dishwasher, plus a fridge-freezer, and a door leading straight out to the garden. That east-facing, recently renovated garden is private and paved with planted borders — a leafy retreat that feels a world away from the city. Sofas and solid oak coffee table and TV stand are included.

Upstairs are two comfortable double bedrooms, both with a peaceful green aspect, plus a versatile third room that makes an ideal nursery, guest room or home office. Each bedroom includes a double bed. Two bathrooms — a family bathroom with bath and power shower, and a separate shower room — make busy mornings easy, whether you're a family, or two sharing.

Storage is genuinely exceptional throughout: fitted wardrobes in all three rooms, four cabinets in the bathroom, and handy under-stair storage — a rare find that keeps the whole home clutter-free. Double glazing throughout keeps it quiet and warm, and with both Virgin Media and Hyperoptic full-fibre delivering speeds up to 1Gb, it's set up perfectly for working from home.

Location

Superbly connected, yet genuinely peaceful. Both Angel (Northern line) and Highbury & Islington (Victoria line & Overground) are around a 10-minute walk, while a bus stop just 3 minutes away puts the 43 (London Bridge & the City) and the 19 (West End), 4 (Waterloo) and 30 (Euston) on your doorstep as well as the 78 and 38 and others from Essex Road. Upper Street's restaurants, bars and coffee shops — plus the new cinema at the redeveloped sorting-office quarter — are within easy walking distance, and several well-regarded primary schools, including St Andrew's (Barnsbury) and Canonbury Primary, are close by.
