Set on a desirable Amwell Street in Islington, this bright one-bedroom period conversion offers a compact city home with characterful features. High ceilings and original sash windows create a light, airy reception room that complements the open-plan kitchen-living layout. A communal garden provides outdoor space rare for central locations.
The flat is chain free and located less than half a mile from Angel station, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal—convenient for commuting and working from home. At about 427 sq ft (39.7 sq m), the accommodation is best suited to a single occupant or couple seeking a well-located, low-maintenance base close to Exmouth Market’s shops and eateries.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold and sits in a mid-terrace Georgian building constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated). The area records above-average crime and the flat’s small footprint limits storage and flexibility. Council tax band is not yet set. These factors affect running costs and should be checked before purchase.
For a buyer prioritising location, period character and convenience, this apartment is a straightforward, move-in option with rental or resale potential in a popular central neighbourhood. For those requiring more space, full insulation or lower-crime surroundings, the limitations are material and worth weighing against the location benefits.
