Light-filled and surprisingly spacious, this top-floor Victorian conversion offers a newly renovated one-bedroom home near Canonbury station. Rooflights and new sash windows draw daylight into high ceilings and cleverly used eaves storage, creating an airy living space with open-plan kitchen and reception. Recent works include a full roof replacement, new skylights, upgraded bathroom, some new flooring and a modern boiler—ready to move into chain-free.
The location is a major asset: three minutes to Canonbury Overground and a ten-minute walk to Highbury & Islington, with Highbury Fields, Newington Green and Clissold Park nearby. The building has a well-kept communal feel and a long 988-year lease with share of freehold, giving ownership security and low ongoing ground rent.
Practical points to note: the EPC is currently rated D, service charges are substantial at about £2,725.60 per year, and broadband speeds in the area are very slow. Crime levels are above average locally. Overall this is a sensible pick for a first-time buyer or an investor seeking a characterful, ready-to-live-in property in a well-connected spot, provided you accept the service charge and energy limitations.
