Light-filled one-bedroom apartment on the first floor of a handsome Islington mansion block, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a central, well-connected base. The east–west aspect and large sash windows let sunlight into the living room and bedroom; modern kitchen units and integrated appliances keep maintenance low. Off-street residents’ parking and fast broadband add practical convenience.
The home offers a generous reception room with built-in storage, a good-sized double bedroom and a family bathroom. At about 467–476 sq ft, the layout is comfortable for single occupancy or couples, and the long lease (118 years) makes mortgage eligibility straightforward. Local life is lively: Upper Street’s shops, restaurants and pubs are within easy reach, and Essex Road station is only 0.2 miles away for quick commutes.
Be clear on the costs and context: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of approximately £1,990 and a ground rent recorded as £10. The building dates from the early 20th century and has solid brick walls with assumed no insulation — consider potential energy-efficiency improvements. The immediate area shows higher crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may affect suitability for some buyers and should be weighed against the location and transport advantages.
Overall this apartment suits a buyer prioritising central location, light and convenience who is comfortable with an urban setting and typical maintenance/management costs for a period mansion block. It also presents straightforward rental potential for a buy-to-let investor given transport links and local amenities.
