This chain-free two-bedroom apartment on the third floor offers a compact, modern London home with two private balconies and good natural light. The open-plan living/dining area and contemporary kitchen create a practical social space for first buyers or sharers. At 534 sq ft (49.6 sqm) the layout is efficient but deliberately modest — suitable for those prioritising location over large rooms.
Transport is a major strength: Holloway Road (Piccadilly Line) is under a ten‑minute walk, with Drayton Park and Highbury & Islington also nearby, making commutes and weekend plans straightforward. The property was constructed in the early 2000s, has double glazing, gas central heating and an EPC rating of B, which supports reasonable running costs.
Important practical points are straightforward and should be factored into any offer. The flat is leasehold with 107 years remaining and a relatively high ground rent of £600. At 534 sq ft the accommodation is small for a two-bedroom and will suit buyers who value location and low-maintenance living rather than generous internal space. Local area indicators show above-average crime and higher-than-average council tax bands.
Overall this is a well-presented, move-in-ready option for a first-time buyer or investor wanting strong transport links and modern finishes. The property’s compact size, ground rent and local area statistics are the primary caveats; if those align with your priorities it offers a convenient base in a well-connected part of North London.
