Set within a converted Edwardian building, this split-level two-bedroom apartment offers bright, characterful living close to Old Street and Upper Street. Tall original sash windows and very high ceilings create an airy, private reception space, while an upstairs mezzanine principal bedroom provides a quiet retreat with built-in wardrobes. A private off-street parking space is a rare asset in central N1.
The layout suits first-time buyers or young professionals seeking a distinctive home with obvious rental potential. The kitchen is integrated and practical, and communal areas are well kept with secure fob entry, lifts and bike storage. Broadband can be upgraded to ultrafast if required; mobile signal is excellent externally.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with 106 years remaining, an annual service charge around £2,300 and ground rent of £250. Council tax is above average. The building is of solid brick construction (1930s–1940s) with assumed no wall insulation — consider insulation or energy upgrades if desired. Open-plan living and high windows may allow some street noise.
Overall, this is a character-filled duplex with practical city comforts and a valuable private parking space, balanced by typical leasehold costs and potential retrofit work for energy efficiency.
