This stylish penthouse offers a rare combination of generous internal space (729 sq ft) and a palatial wrap‑around roof terrace, ideal for entertaining or private outdoor living. The apartment has been newly renovated to a high specification with a design‑led open‑plan kitchen/living area, floor‑to‑ceiling windows and a large double bedroom with built‑in storage. The finish is contemporary and move‑in ready.
Positioned on the 7th floor in a City Road location, the flat is a short walk from Old Street, Angel and King’s Cross transport links—appealing to professionals who commute across Zone 1. The property benefits from a separate utility cupboard and immaculate tiled shower room with bespoke storage, making day‑to‑day living straightforward.
Buyers should note material running costs and local challenges: the property is leasehold (117 years remaining) with an above‑average service charge (£5,101 p.a.) and typical ground rent (£500 p.a.), and heating is provided via a community scheme. The local area records high crime and has higher deprivation metrics than average, which may affect resale considerations and insurance costs.
Overall this is a high‑spec, low‑maintenance penthouse well suited to professionals or investors seeking strong central London location, private outdoor space and immediate rental or owner‑occupier potential. The lack of onward chain and ready condition make it straightforward to move into or market to tenants quickly.
