This two-bedroom apartment sits in an imposing Victorian mid-terrace close to Upper Street and Essex Road, offering easy access to Highbury & Islington transport links and a wide range of restaurants, parks and shops. The home has been newly renovated to a contemporary standard with a bright living room, separate fitted kitchen with dining space, built-in wardrobes in both bedrooms and a modern bathroom with bath and overhead shower.
Practical details are investor- and buyer-relevant: the flat is leasehold with 85 years remaining, an annual service charge of about £1,500 and a small ground rent of £125. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators; the building is solid-brick Victorian (assumed no cavity insulation). Council tax is described as expensive and the local crime rate is above average.
Internally the flat shows well: dual-aspect light in the living room, a marble fireplace and contemporary finishes throughout. Ceiling height is lower in the living room and one bedroom is compact, so viewings are recommended to check space and headroom. This property will suit buyers wanting a well-presented, central two-bedroom with strong transport links and local amenities, but who are comfortable with a shorter lease and ongoing service charges.
