Set over two floors, this 890 sq ft split-level maisonette provides three double bedrooms and a bright reception room leading to a south-facing balcony. The modern interior and eat-in kitchen suit buyers seeking a ready-to-live-in home close to both the City and Shoreditch’s tech and creative hubs. The long lease (172 years) gives ownership security for years to come.
Practical details are straightforward: a family bathroom plus an additional WC, built-in storage, and included communal heating and hot water under the service charge. The property’s position next to Old Street roundabout means exceptional transport links — the tube is a short walk and the City is easily reachable on foot.
Be aware of material considerations: the building records a high annual service charge (£5,074) which covers heating and hot water, and the immediate location is noisy, adjacent to a busy roundabout. Local crime levels are recorded as very high, which may affect some buyers’ sense of security. Buyers should also note this is a leasehold property.
For those prioritising commute times, rental potential, or a ready-made home in a lively, well-connected part of Islington, this maisonette offers clear advantages. Families and sharers will appreciate the three double bedrooms and proximity to several well-rated schools.
