Set over two floors within Halton Mansions, this 1,228 sq ft four-bedroom maisonette offers generous, well-proportioned rooms and a private patio in central Islington. The ground floor living room features parquet floors and large windows that flood the space with light; a separate fitted kitchen opens directly onto the patio for outdoor dining or relaxation. The first floor comprises four bedrooms and a smart family bathroom (bath plus walk-in shower), with the principal bedroom particularly bright from two sash windows and high ceilings.
Practical details are clear: the lease has about 87 years remaining, tenure is leasehold, and the service charge is higher than average at £4,566 per year (this includes heating and hot water under a community scheme). There is only one bathroom for four bedrooms, and the building’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so further insulation or energy improvements may be worth considering in the medium term. Ground rent is minimal but payable.
Location is a major draw for families and commuters: Upper Street, Essex Road and Highbury & Islington are all within walking distance, offering shops, cafes, schools and fast transport links into central London. The immediate neighbourhood is inner-city cosmopolitan with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Note the area records higher-than-average crime and significant local deprivation metrics; buyers should balance central convenience and community amenities against these factors.
