Newly renovated one-bed with balcony — 50% shared ownership from £180,000, ideal for first-time buyers.
Sixth-floor one-bedroom flat with private balcony
Bright sixth-floor apartment on Queensland Road, set within a modern 2012+ block and newly renovated throughout. The open-plan living area has integrated appliances, generous windows and a private balcony — a compact, well-insulated home that feels larger than its 496 sq ft footprint. Double glazing, good soundproofing and an EPC B rating keep running costs sensible.
Offered via shared ownership (50% share for £180,000; full ownership available at £360,000), this property is aimed squarely at first-time buyers seeking an affordable route onto the local market. The estimated deposit for a 50% purchase is c. £9,000, making the purchase accessible while retaining the option to stair‑case to 100% ownership later.
Practical points to note: the flat is leasehold and heated via a communal mains-gas scheme, so service arrangements and costs should be checked. The building is undergoing fully funded fire-safety remedial works and rooftop garden redevelopment due to complete by end of 2025 — these works are positive for safety and communal space but ongoing until completion.
Well connected, the home is a short walk from Holloway Road (Piccadilly Line), Drayton Park and Highbury & Islington links, plus local shops, parks and good schools nearby. For a first-time buyer wanting a low-maintenance, modern one-bed with realistic upgrade potential, this is a practical and affordable option.
