Summary - NEW RIVER HEAD, 173 APARTMENT 68 ROSEBERY AVENUE LONDON EC1R 4UN
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Spacious two-bedroom penthouse with private terrace and parking in historic New River Head.
Penthouse apartment with large private terrace and city skyline views
Set within the historic New River Head development, this penthouse apartment occupies the building’s upper floor and benefits from a large private terrace with sweeping city views. The dual-aspect reception is bright and spacious, opening directly onto the terrace — ideal for entertaining or quiet outdoor living in central Islington. The property includes two bedrooms, one bathroom and an allocated off-street parking space, a rare convenience so close to the West End and the City.
Residents have access to extensive communal gardens, an on-site gymnasium, and the Oak Room for functions, plus concierge services and a community heating scheme. The long lease (969 years) and private parking are significant ownership advantages in this postcode, while excellent local transport links (Angel, Farringdon, Kings Cross/St Pancras) make commuting straightforward.
Buyers should note practical details: the apartment is in a solid-brick Victorian building constructed 1900–1929, with assumed lack of cavity insulation and double glazing of unknown age — opportunities for energy-efficiency improvements. There is a single bathroom for two bedrooms and council tax is described as expensive, which are relevant for family use or rental budgeting.
This home will suit buyers seeking a characterful central London residence with generous living space, private outdoor space and on-site amenities. It offers strong lifestyle appeal and long-term asset potential, though those prioritising low running costs or modern thermal performance should factor in possible retrofit work.
