Characterful inner-Islington home with parking and long lease ideal for first-time buyers.
612 sq ft upper-ground two-bedroom apartment
Light-filled period charm meets convenient city living in this upper-ground two-bedroom apartment on St. Pauls Road. The south-facing living room and semi-open kitchen overlook a leafy communal garden, offering a calm outdoor retreat while the north-facing bedrooms take advantage of large sash windows and high ceilings. At approximately 612 sq ft this home suits buyers looking to be close to Upper Street and excellent transport links including Highbury & Islington and Canonbury stations.
Practical ownership is straightforward: the property is chain-free, sold with a share of freehold and an exceptionally long lease (circa 952 years). Off-street parking is a rare local benefit, and the flat sits in a well-regarded, low-crime part of Islington with strong broadband and mobile coverage. Nearby schools include good and outstanding-rated options, making the location attractive to young families and professionals.
Buyers should note the flat is compact and will feel best for those comfortable with smaller London living spaces. The building retains solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation and the windows are secondary glazed — elements to consider if you plan further thermal improvements. There is one bathroom and an average annual service charge of about £1,215. These are factual considerations for budgets and any future refurbishment plans.
Overall this is a well-located, characterful flat offering a ready-to-live-in base or easy lettable investment, with clear potential to modernise where desired. Its combination of period features, garden access and transport links makes it an appealing choice for first-time buyers seeking an inner-city home.
