Summary - Hemingford Road, N1 N1 1BZ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Refurbished lower-ground home with private west-facing outdoor space and fast links to central London.
Large private west-facing garden backing onto Barnsbury Woods
This newly refurbished lower-ground garden flat offers single-floor, turnkey living in one of Barnsbury’s most desirable streets. Finished in 2021 to a high specification, the property blends period features with contemporary fittings — bespoke kitchen, integrated appliances and stylish bathroom with underfloor heating — and benefits from a long lease (994 years) and share of freehold.
A key attraction is the large, west-facing private garden backing onto Barnsbury Woods, providing rare privacy and leafy views in central Islington. The reception room opens via steel-framed doors to the garden for easy indoor–outdoor living; the principal bedroom includes a dressing area and the second bedroom works well as a guest room or study.
Practical details suit downsizers wanting low-maintenance, well-connected central living: fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, easy access to Angel and Highbury & Islington stations, and nearby shops, cafes and parks. Service charge and ground rent are modest (service charge c. £1,350 pa; ground rent £1), and council tax is moderate.
Notable considerations are stated plainly: the flat is lower-ground so some rooms sit below street level and may receive less direct light than upper floors. The building is of solid brick construction (1900–1929 era) and is assumed to have no wall insulation, which could affect heating performance and future retrofit costs. Crime levels are average for the area. Overall, this is a high-spec, single-floor home with a rare private garden — ideal for buyers seeking peaceful city living with excellent transport links.
