Bright, spacious and move-in ready, this two-bedroom apartment in award-winning Gainsborough Studios suits buyers wanting central Shoreditch living. The open-plan reception/kitchen with hardwood floors and large windows creates a light, flexible living space for everyday life and entertaining. The principal bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe and en suite; the second double also benefits from built-in storage and floor-to-ceiling glazing.
Transport links are a genuine strength: just over half a mile to Old Street (Northern line, National Rail) and Hoxton Overground, with the Elizabeth Line a short bus ride away. Local amenities include cafes, wine bars and gastro-pubs on Upper Street and Shoreditch, plus several well-rated primary and secondary schools within easy reach. The property is offered chain free and has an exceptionally long lease (980 years).
Practical points to note: heating is by electric room heaters rather than a mains gas system, and the annual service charge is relatively high at £6,000. Ground rent is modest (£200 pa) and council tax sits in Band D. The building, constructed in the early 2000s, shows contemporary finishes throughout but buyers should factor the ongoing service charge into running-cost calculations.
Overall this flat will appeal to first-time buyers and local professionals seeking a generous two-bedroom home in an inner-city, well-connected pocket of Islington. It combines comfortable, modern living with scope to personalise, while being honest about the higher communal costs and electric heating arrangement.
