2 bedroom flat to rent

SHORT LET: We are looking for tenants to take over our beautiful Highbury home for approximately six months while we are on an overseas secondment.

This is a fully furnished sublet, agreed with our landlord, who is happy to interact directly with subtenants if any issues arise. We deal directly with the landlord (no agency), and they are friendly, responsive, and easy to work with — one of the reasons we are keen to keep the flat while we're away.

Located on a quiet, leafy residential street just moments from Highbury Fields, this is a large split-level garden flat (approx. 115+ sqm) offering exceptional light, space, and comfort.

The property will come fully furnished, and ideally we would like to leave most furnishings and household items in place — including crockery, shelving, desks, chairs, lamps, and larger technology such as the TV and sound system.

All personal items and storage spaces will be cleared before the sublet begins. We have some limited flexibility regarding particular large items depending on tenant preference.

The upper level features exposed wooden floors and an impressive open-plan kitchen and dining area with:

• Double-height ceilings

• Large floor-to-ceiling windows flooding the space with natural light

• Fully equipped kitchen with:

  • Five-burner gas stove & rangehood

  • CDA oven + separate microwave

  • Kitchen island with seating

  • Solid wood six-person dining table — ideal for entertaining

  A separate lounge provides a comfortable retreat, including:

  • Large L-shaped sofa

  • Fireplace

  • Entertainment unit

  • Sony wireless surround sound system + subwoofer

  • Large TV

  • Dedicated dual-monitor workstation setup

  Double doors open directly onto a private garden, with a paved outdoor area exclusively for the flat — perfect for summer evenings.
