This two-bedroom penthouse on Pentonville Road offers 1,416 sq ft of stylish, light-filled living with far-reaching London skyline views towards St Paul’s. Finished in 2018 to a high standard, the apartment benefits from direct lift access, a front decked balcony and a large private roof terrace off the principal bedroom — a rare combination of privacy and panorama in central Islington.
The interior is arranged for easy modern living: a bright open-plan kitchen, living and dining area with trifolding glazed doors, a kitchen island with Siemens integrated appliances, Quooker tap and wine fridge. Comfort and future-proofing are provided by air conditioning, underfloor heating and an MVHR heat pump. The principal bedroom has an en suite bath and shower; the second bedroom includes a flexible home-working partition and a Juliet balcony.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is leasehold (approx. 117 years remaining) with an annual service charge of about £4,000 and ground rent around £400. Council Tax is high (Band H), and main fuel is electricity via heat pump — running costs should be anticipated. Broadband in the area is reported very slow.
Location is a strong selling point for buyers wanting central London life: Angel station is a short walk, Upper Street’s shops and restaurants are nearby, and walking routes extend to Kings Cross, Clerkenwell and the City. Note the local crime statistic is very high; buyers should weigh this against the apartment’s elevated, secure penthouse position and direct lift access.
