Set directly on Highbury Fields, this large one‑bed basement apartment (643 sqft) offers a rare, chain‑free pied‑à‑terre in a Grade II Listed Georgian building. The current owner has fully renovated the flat: a contemporary fitted kitchen, wood floors, recessed lighting and an inglenook fireplace create a bright, flexible living space with large double doors to close off the bedroom area.
The flat has its own private entrance and sits a short walk from local amenities, award‑winning cafés and excellent transport links — direct services to Moorgate and quick routes to the West End and St Pancras. Newly updated systems include boiler and radiators on mains gas, and the property presents well for immediate occupation or rental.
Important practical points: the building’s Grade II listing restricts changes and may complicate works or consented upgrades. As a basement flat there is less natural light than upper floors and the original solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, which can mean higher heating costs. The home is leasehold — buyers should check lease length and any service charges.
This apartment suits someone seeking a polished central London pied‑à‑terre or a city investor wanting a well‑presented, ready‑to‑let property. It’s offered chain‑free for a straightforward purchase, but buyers should factor in listing constraints and confirm mortgage and insurance arrangements for basement, listed flats.
