This bright one-bedroom penthouse in Chronicle Tower offers a compact, modern home in the heart of EC1V. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the 527 sqft open-plan reception and bedroom with light, and integrated kitchen appliances keep the layout clean and move-in ready. The building’s extensive facilities — 24-hour concierge, residents’ gym, pool, spa and business lounge — add daily convenience and lifestyle value.
The location is a major strength: moments from Angel and Old Street stations, beside the City Basin canal and within easy walking distance of bars, restaurants and shops in Angel, Hoxton, Clerkenwell and the City. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit professionals who work from home occasionally. The preferred rectangular-room layout and clear floorplan make furniture placement straightforward.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold (terms and service charges not specified), heated via a community scheme, and carries an EPC rating of C. The wider area is classified as deprived, and while crime is average, buyers should check lease length, ground rent and service charge details before committing. Viewing the video tour and floorplan is recommended to confirm sightlines and layout.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or city-based professional seeking a well-serviced, low-maintenance home close to transport and amenities. It’s an efficient, urban pied-à-terre with lifestyle facilities, but due diligence on leasehold costs and running charges is essential.
