This upper-ground two-bedroom flat combines period character with practical city living in a sought-after Islington location. The south-facing communal garden and large sash windows bring light to the main living space, while the semi-open plan kitchen/living area suits modern day-to-day life. With off-street parking and share of freehold, it offers accessible ownership in a strong transport corridor.
At about 612 sq ft the apartment is compact and best suited to first-time buyers, couples or professionals who prioritise location over generous room sizes. The property retains high ceilings and Victorian features, but internally it shows typical older-build traits: solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) and secondary glazing. Heating is via a gas boiler and radiators.
Practical costs and considerations are straightforward: an average service charge of £1,215 and moderate council tax apply. The flat is chain-free, which supports a faster sale, but buyers should note there is only one bathroom and renovations could be required if buyers seek better thermal performance or a full modern upgrade.
Position is a major plus: 0.4 miles from Highbury & Islington station and close to Canonbury overground, with Upper Street’s cafes, shops and Highbury Fields moments away. For buyers wanting an inner-city, well-connected base with period charm and garden access, this apartment offers immediate convenience and clear potential to personalise.
