Local area: above-average crime and higher deprivation
This compact one-bedroom apartment occupies the second floor of a Victorian mid-terrace on tree-lined Mildmay Road, moments from Newington Green. The flat benefits from high ceilings to the reception, a south-facing aspect and impressive City views, making the main room light and adaptable for living and dining. With a long lease (share of freehold, c.998 years) and modest service charges, it suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking central N1 location and long-term security.
Internally the layout is efficient: a generously proportioned reception room, separate compact kitchen reached up a short flight of steps, a light double bedroom with built-in storage and a large bathroom. The property is presented in neutral condition but would benefit from modernization to maximise rental income or resale value – typical improvements include a kitchen update, bathroom refresh and redecoration.
Practical points to note: the flat is small (c.389 sq ft) with no private outdoor space and limited internal storage. The surrounding area is lively and well connected, with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and frequent Overground and bus services into Islington, Dalston and central London. Nearby green spaces, cafes and good schools add appeal for local living despite a higher-than-average local crime score and area deprivation indicators.
Overall this is a city‑living opportunity for a buyer who values location, long leasehold security and character proportions, and who is prepared to invest modestly to unlock greater rental or resale potential.
