Summary - 48 FLAT B BERESFORD ROAD LONDON N5 2HZ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Newly renovated Victorian one-bedroom with high ceilings and garden, close to Newington Green and transport.
Large communal garden with private-feeling outdoor space
A beautifully presented one-bedroom upper-ground apartment combining Victorian character with a contemporary finish, ideal for first-time buyers seeking a move-in-ready home with outdoor space. High ceilings, original cornicing and shutters sit alongside a modern kitchen and bathroom, giving a rare mix of period charm and practical, updated living. The apartment opens onto a large communal garden, offering private-feeling outdoor space in an inner-city setting.
Practical details are straightforward: the flat is leasehold with 93 years remaining, a below-average service charge (£450) and a low ground rent (£10). It measures approximately 478 sq ft and has reliable mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators. Transport links are strong — Essex Road, Canonbury and Highbury & Islington nearby — and local amenities, cafés and restaurants on Newington Green and Upper Street are within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. The building is a Victorian mid-terrace with solid brick walls and assumed lack of insulation, which may affect heating costs and future retrofit work. The surrounding area has above-average crime statistics and is classified as deprived, so buyers should factor in local context and security measures. The lease term (93 years) is acceptable but may influence mortgage options and future resale valuation.
Overall this apartment offers a characterful, newly renovated home in a lively, well-connected part of N5. It will suit first-time buyers or professionals wanting a stylish, low-maintenance base with private garden access, while those prioritising long lease terms, complete thermal upgrades or quieter locations should weigh the noted drawbacks.
