Summary - Top Floor Flat, 31 Highbury Park N5 1TH
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Large, character-filled two-bed flat with communal garden and excellent transport links..
Approximately 1,000 sq ft top-floor split-level apartment
Set across the top two floors of a Georgian conversion, this split-level flat offers generous proportions rarely found in central London. The reception and principal bedroom are particularly large, and the separate eat-in kitchen gives practical day-to-day flexibility for family life. High ceilings, sash windows and stripped timber floors preserve period character while the layout feels bright and airy.
Practical advantages include a share of the freehold, a very long lease (952 years), and chain-free sale so completion can be straightforward. The apartment extends to about 1,000 sq ft, and residents benefit from access to a sizable communal garden and a terrace — a valuable outside space in this area.
Location is a strong selling point: Highbury Barn’s independent shops and cafés are on the doorstep, Highbury & Islington station is within easy reach, and Highbury Fields provides nearby green space. Several highly regarded primary and secondary schools are close by, making the flat suitable for a small family or professionals wanting room to work from home.
Be transparent about running costs and constraints: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of £1,620 pa and an expensive Council Tax band F. The building dates from the early 20th century and the walls are solid brick with likely limited insulation, so further energy-efficiency improvements are possible. The split-level, top-floor arrangement means internal stairs and no lift access, which may be a consideration for mobility or heavy moving days.
