Summary - 36 APARTMENT 4A HORNSEY ROAD LONDON N7 7AT
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Spacious converted-school duplex close to Holloway Road station and Highbury Fields.
Over 1,100 sq ft duplex with double-height ceilings and oversized arched windows
Set within the gated L’Ecole school conversion, this duplex two-bedroom apartment delivers over 1,100 sq ft of distinctive London living. High, double-height ceilings and oversized arched windows create dramatic volume and abundant natural light across the open-plan reception and kitchen — ideal for entertaining or flexible working-from-home layouts.
Upstairs houses two double bedrooms and a family bathroom with both bath and separate shower; a guest WC sits on the lower living level. At around 1,100 sq ft the apartment feels more like a house than a flat, offering generous proportions uncommon for the area. Its central Holloway location is extremely well connected: Holloway Road tube is two minutes’ walk and Drayton Park is also nearby, giving fast links to King’s Cross, Moorgate and the West End.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is leasehold (103 years remaining) and being sold chain free, but running costs are notable — an above-average service charge of £5,000pa and ground rent of £300pa, plus an expensive council tax band. Heating is electric via room heaters rather than a communal gas system, and the building’s original solid brick walls are likely uninsulated.
This apartment will suit a buyer who values character, space and location — families wanting proximity to highly rated local schools, professionals seeking quick city links, or purchasers looking for a roomy central London pied-à-terre. Be aware of the higher ongoing service costs and the potential energy and retrofit work associated with electric heating and solid-wall construction.
