Quietly tucked on Almeida Street, this lower-ground one-bedroom flat combines period character with contemporary comfort. The open-plan reception features an ornate fireplace and French doors that lead directly to a substantial multi-level private garden — a rare outdoor asset for central Islington. The walk-through kitchen and modern bathroom are well presented, making the flat move-in ready for singles or couples.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (984 years), efficient mains-gas boiler and radiators, double glazing (installed before 2002) and fast broadband/mobile connectivity — useful for home working. At around 507 sq ft the lateral layout feels generous for a one-bedroom apartment and benefits from direct garden access for entertaining or quiet outdoor space.
Buyers should note this is a lower-ground flat, so natural light is good but not as bright as upper floors. The property sits in a mid-terrace built before 1900 with solid brick walls assumed to lack cavity insulation, which may mean higher heating costs and future insulation/retrofit opportunity. Council tax is above average and local crime levels are above average for the area.
The location is a major draw: Upper Street’s shops, cafes and restaurants are on the doorstep, with Highbury & Islington (0.5 miles) and Angel (0.6 miles) stations providing fast links across London. This flat suits first-time buyers or professionals seeking a stylish central base with rare private outdoor space — and buyers willing to accept lower-ground living and planned maintenance or retrofit works.
