A spacious two-bedroom top-floor apartment set across the upper two floors of a Georgian conversion in Highbury. At around 1,000 sqft the home feels unusually roomy for central London, with high ceilings, large sash windows and generous principal rooms that retain period character. The separate eat-in kitchen and access to a communal garden add practical family-friendly features.
Practical ownership perks include a share of the freehold, a very long lease (952 years) and a chain-free sale — all helpful for a straightforward purchase. Transport links are strong: Highbury & Islington and local bus routes give fast access to the City and West End, while Highbury Fields and local independent shops are moments away.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property is top-floor so access is by stairs only, the secondary bedroom is compact, and the building’s solid brick construction likely means limited wall insulation. Service charges run around £1,620pa and the property sits in Council Tax Band F, which is relatively expensive. Overall, this is a well-proportioned period home suited to a small family or buyers seeking a spacious central London flat with character and clear scope to update and personalise.
