Summary - New North Road, London, N1 N1 6JB
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Newly renovated two-bedroom flat with private garden and excellent transport links.
Grade II listed Georgian building retains period features
Set within an elegant Grade II listed Georgian building, this newly renovated two-bedroom apartment offers a rare ground-floor home with private rear garden and direct access to Old Street and Pitfield Street amenities. The reception room retains period charm with a decorative fireplace and sash-style windows, while a semi open-plan kitchen and modern bathroom deliver contemporary comfort. Offered with no onward chain and a share of freehold, it suits first-time buyers, city professionals or investors seeking a central pied-à-terre.
Practical points include a remaining lease of 85 years and an annual service charge of around £4,000 — important factors for mortgage lenders and budget planning. The listed status protects original features but may restrict external alterations and complicate future works; any structural or significant changes will require listed-building consent. Crime levels in the immediate area are above average and the locality is classified as deprived, which buyers should factor into safety and long-term resale considerations.
The apartment’s recent refurbishment means little immediate internal work is required: double glazing, a modern boiler with radiators, and fresh finishes are already in place. At approximately 673 sq ft, the layout is efficient rather than grand, favouring singles, couples or investors over larger families. Excellent transport links (Old Street ~5 minutes) and proximity to Clerkenwell, the City and local independent shops add strong commuter and rental appeal.
Overall, this property combines period character and modernised interiors with a private outdoor space in a highly connected central location. Buyers should weigh the benefits of a move-in-ready listed apartment against lease length, service charges and restrictions tied to listed status.
