A bright one-bedroom apartment on the first floor of a Victorian conversion, arranged over a well-proportioned 550 sq ft. The semi-open plan living/kitchen is flooded with natural light from three sash-style windows and flows onto a private roof terrace accessed from the bedroom — a rare outdoor space for this type of property.
Practical running costs are reasonable: mains gas heating to radiators, double glazing, an affordable council tax band, a below-average service charge (£786) and a small ground rent (£75). The flat sits in a lively, inner-city pocket close to Newington Green, Upper Street and multiple Overground and Underground stations, making it easy for first-time buyers who prioritise connectivity and local amenities.
Notable considerations are straightforward and factual. The building’s solid-brick Victorian construction implies limited external wall insulation (assumed), which could mean higher heating bills unless upgraded. The lease has 96 years remaining — ample for now but important to monitor for future mortgage or sale considerations.
This home suits a first-time buyer or couple seeking character with modern touches, outdoor space and fast local transport links. It also offers light renovation potential (insulation, cosmetic updating) to increase comfort and value over time.
