Two double bedrooms with ensuite wet room to principal
Set on the first floor of Advent House in New Islington, this newly renovated two-bedroom apartment offers a ready-to-move-in home with a private balcony and designated gated parking. The layout includes two double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a wet room off the principal bedroom, arranged around a welcoming hallway and a bright lounge opening onto the balcony.
Practical details are clear: long lease remaining (approximately 228 years), service charge c. £2,057pa and ground rent £150pa. Cladding works are complete and an EWS1/comfort letter is available, reducing a common conveyancing hurdle. The property benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for home working and streaming.
Positioned a short walk from Piccadilly, Cutting Room Square and New Islington tram stop, the apartment suits first-time buyers seeking urban convenience, cafés and transport links on the doorstep. Note the local classification as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood, which brings lively evenings and high footfall.
Practical drawbacks to consider: main heating is via electric room heaters rather than central gas, and the annual service charge and ground rent should be factored into running costs. Overall, this chain-free flat combines move-in readiness with long-term lease security and easy city access.
