Light-filled one-bedroom close to Highbury & Islington transport.
South-facing reception with private balcony and garden views
Set on the first floor of an imposing Victorian conversion, this one-bedroom apartment brings plenty of natural light and direct views over Arundel Square gardens. The south-facing reception opens onto a private balcony, creating a bright living space well suited to everyday city life and relaxed entertaining. The semi-open kitchen is fitted and the bedroom and bathroom sit toward the rear for added quiet.
Practical details that matter: the property is chain-free, has a long lease (106 years remaining) and a relatively low service charge for the area. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators, and broadband and mobile reception are both strong — helpful for remote working and city living.
Be clear about the trade-offs. The building is a pre‑1900 solid-brick structure with assumed no cavity insulation, which can mean higher heating costs unless upgraded. Service charge and ground rent apply (service charge circa £1,022 pa, ground rent £250 pa) and the immediate area scores as relatively deprived; crime is average. For a buyer seeking period character, transport links and immediate access to Upper Street and Highbury & Islington, this apartment offers straightforward city living with clear scope for energy improvements and cosmetic updating.
