2 rooms house of 62m² in London

Tucked away along the Regent’s Canal in the heart of Islington, this exceptional 19th-century canal-side cottage offers a rare opportunity to rent a truly unique period home in one of North London’s most characterful settings. Believed to have once served as a showroom for the renowned terrazzo specialists Diespeker, whose former factory sits adjacent, the house carries a subtle legacy of design heritage. Now fully refurbished to a high standard, the property beautifully balances contemporary living with retained period charm. Internally, the home features impressive ceiling heights, elegant sash windows and an abundance of natural light throughout. A standout feature is the original terrazzo flooring running through the hallway and both reception rooms, a distinctive nod to its history. The two versatile living spaces include a reception room adjoining the kitchen, perfectly suited as a dining area or additional entertaining space. The refurbishment includes a brand new kitchen and bathroom, finished to a modern specification, along with new flooring to the staircase and upper level, ensuring a fresh and cohesive feel throughout while complementing the retained period details. Upstairs, the bedrooms enjoy wonderful views across Regent's Canal, offering a peaceful outlook rarely found in such a central location. The property is ideally positioned for the vibrant amenities of Upper Street, with its array of boutiques, cafés, restaurants and bars. The open green space of Shoreditch Park and picturesque canal side walks are moments from the door. Transport links are excellent, with Old Street station (Northern Line and National Rail), Angel station (Northern Line) and Essex Road station all within easy reach, providing swift access to the City, the West End and beyond. Offering the privacy and feel of a whole house, exceptional character and a prime canal-side setting, this is a rare rental opportunity in the heart of Islington — ideal for tenants seeking something truly distinctive.
