Summary - Flat 59, Gardners Court, Kelvin Road N5 2PH
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright ground-floor apartment with long lease and great transport links.
South-facing reception room overlooking communal gardens
A well-presented one-bedroom ground-floor apartment in Highbury, arranged over approximately 500 sqft and offered with a long lease of 173 years. The flat has its own front door and a bright, south-facing reception room that looks onto communal gardens, creating a calm, private feel despite the central location. The separate modern kitchen and generous hallway storage make the layout practical for everyday living.
This property suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a compact London home near excellent transport links and green space. Highbury and Islington, Arsenal and Drayton Park stations are within easy walking distance, and local amenities include independent shops, cafes and several parks within a short stroll.
Be clear about the material considerations: service charges average £1,400 per year and ground rent is £10 (unknown review period). The building’s solid-brick construction likely lacks cavity wall insulation and the double glazing installation date is unknown, which could mean future spending on thermal improvements. The neighbourhood records higher crime and relative area deprivation; buyers should factor local safety and community considerations into their decision.
Overall this is a convenient, well-located one-bedroom with immediate move-in appeal and clear potential for light upgrading. It offers practical living space, good transport, and long lease security, balanced by service costs and some fabric and neighbourhood considerations that buyers should budget for.
