Chain-free and in a period conversion with Georgian facade
Compact footprint c.342 sq ft — small internal size

Leasehold with c.107 years remaining; ground rent £250
Resident on-street parking; no private garden
This bright one-bedroom flat occupies the first floor of an attractive period conversion on Canonbury Road, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation. The south-facing open-plan reception and kitchen benefits from two large sash windows, high ceilings and oak-style flooring, creating a light, social living space ideal for city living.
The apartment is compact at about 342 sq ft, making it a sensible starter home or an easy-to-manage buy-to-let. Transport connections are excellent: Highbury & Islington, Essex Road and Canonbury Overground are within easy walking distance, and Upper Street’s shops, restaurants and parks are moments away.
Practicalities: the flat runs on electric room heaters (no central gas heating) and sits in a solid-brick, pre-war building likely without wall insulation — expect higher running costs than modern stock. The property is leasehold with c.107 years remaining, a modest ground rent (£250) and a low service charge, but all buyers should verify these costs independently.
Overall this is a characterful, well-located small one-bedroom for buyers wanting period appeal and convenience in N1. Its compact size and electric heating suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a central, low-maintenance property, while those needing more space or gas central heating should factor in potential upgrades.
