This beautifully renovated split-level flat offers three bedrooms, three bathrooms and over 1,220 sqft of thoughtfully arranged living space — well suited to families seeking space and easy access to central London. The large 25ft open-plan living/dining area flows to a west-facing decked garden, offering afternoon sun and an outdoor spot for children or entertaining.
The principal suite is generous, with a walk-in wardrobe, separate shower room and WC. A lower-ground level houses two further bedrooms, one with en suite and private patio access, providing versatile arrangements for a home office or guest accommodation. Modern finishes and fitted storage throughout reduce immediate maintenance needs.
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold with a long lease remaining, an average annual service charge, and above-average council tax. The building is a period end-terrace with solid brick walls and no assumed cavity insulation, and the double glazing was installed before 2002 — further energy upgrades may be beneficial.
Location is a key strength — a short walk to Highbury & Islington and other excellent transport links, outstanding and good-rated schools nearby, plus local cafés, pubs and amenities on Upper Street and in Barnsbury. Note that the area records higher crime levels and pockets of local deprivation, so buyers should weigh transport and schooling benefits against these local context factors.
