Rare upper home with private outdoor space in Barnsbury, newly renovated and minutes from Angel.
Three double-height floors with period features and original sash windows
Private rear garden — rare for Barnsbury upper flats
Newly renovated interiors with modern kitchen and bathroom
Share of freehold provides more control than a standard leasehold
Lease length c. 89 years — may affect mortgages and value
Only one family bathroom for three bedrooms
Solid brick walls likely without insulation; retrofit may be needed
Local recorded crime level: very high — consider security measures
Set over the first and second floors of a Georgian mid-terrace, this recently refurbished three-bedroom upper maisonette pairs classic period detail with contemporary fittings. High ceilings and original sash windows create light, airy living spaces, while a generous eat-in kitchen and a newly fitted family bathroom meet modern family needs. The property includes private access to a rear garden — an uncommon and valuable feature in Barnsbury.
The flat offers practical ownership benefits: a share of freehold and an EPC rating of C. Transport links are strong with Angel and Highbury & Islington nearby, plus easy routes to Kings Cross and the West End. Local schools include several highly rated primaries and two outstanding secondaries, making the location well suited to families.
Buyers should note material points: the lease has approximately 89 years remaining, which will affect mortgage and resale considerations. Crime levels in the immediate area are recorded as very high, and the building's solid brick construction likely lacks cavity wall insulation — further energy-efficiency or retrofit work may be desirable. There is just one family bathroom for three bedrooms, which some households may find limiting.
Overall this is a rare Barnsbury opportunity for a family seeking period character, outdoor space and modernised interiors close to central Islington amenities. The maisonette is move-in ready but offers potential for selective upgrades (insulation, secondary bathroom) to increase comfort and long-term value.
