Set on one of Islington’s most desirable garden squares, this split-level maisonette blends Georgian character with contemporary living. High ceilings, sash windows and stripped wooden floors give an immediate sense of space and period charm, while an open-plan reception and kitchen-diner provide versatile living and a practical work-from-home spot. The property extends to approximately 942 sq ft and benefits from a communal garden overlooking the square.
The accommodation is arranged over ground and lower-ground floors. The ground floor houses a south-west facing reception room and open-plan kitchen-diner; both rooms receive good natural light. On the lower-ground floor are two generous double bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The principal bedroom looks over the square and the second bedroom includes built-in wardrobes.
Practical running costs are straightforward: a long lease (about 172 years remaining), low service charge (£700 pa) and minimal ground rent (£10 pa). Transport and local amenities are excellent — Highbury & Islington and Angel stations are within easy walking distance and Upper Street’s shops, cafés and theatres are a short stroll through the square. Highbury Fields is nearby for outdoor recreation.
A few material points to note: the building dates from before 1900 and walls are likely solid brick with limited insulation, which may affect heating and soundproofing. Council tax is above average for the area and local crime statistics are above average — factors to consider for some buyers. Overall this is a large, characterful two-bedroom maisonette offering strong location value and scope to personalise.
