Summary - Apartment 26 The School House, 69, Tollington Road, LONDON N7 6DW
1 bed 2 bath Flat
Characterful Victorian conversion with high ceilings and private garden access.
Large one-bedroom duplex, approx. 637 sq ft
A striking one-bedroom duplex set within a converted Victorian school, this 637 sq ft apartment pairs period character with spacious, light-filled rooms. Extra-high ceilings and large sash-style windows create an airy living area and contemporary open-plan kitchen, ideal for entertaining or home working. The layout includes a guest bathroom downstairs and a large bedroom with ensuite above.
Practical details are straightforward: the flat is leasehold with about 106 years remaining, a service charge of approximately £2,235 pa and a small ground rent of £125 pa. Heating is electric via room heaters and the building’s solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated, so running costs may be higher than modern centrally-heated homes — factor potential upgrades into your budget.
Outside, the development is gated and benefits from a communal resident’s garden and secure setting, while Holloway Road and Highbury & Islington amenities are within easy walking distance. Transport links are strong (Holloway Road and Drayton Park nearby) making this convenient for commuters.
This property will suit a first-time buyer seeking a dramatic, characterful home in North London with scope to personalise and improve energy performance. Be aware of the notable running costs and remaining lease term when comparing to alternatives in the area.
