Set on the first floor of a Georgian mid‑terrace in the Barnsbury conservation area, this well‑presented one double‑bedroom flat offers classic period character and bright living space. High ceilings, sash windows and a feature fireplace give the reception room strong kerb appeal, while polished timber floors and working shutters add authentic detail. The separate kitchen provides space for dining, and a walk‑in wardrobe/study off the bedroom adds useful storage or flexible workspace.
The apartment is compact at about 410 sq ft, so it suits a single occupant, couple or buy‑to‑let investor seeking a central Islington address rather than large living areas. Gas central heating with a boiler and radiators is installed; the building is of solid brick construction typical of its era (assumed no wall insulation). The lease is long (about 174 years remaining) and the property is sold leasehold.
Location is a primary strength: Upper Street amenities, pubs and supermarkets are within easy walking distance, with Angel and Highbury & Islington stations nearby for quick access across London. Good local schools and fast broadband/mobile signal further increase rental and owner‑occupier appeal.
Important considerations: the flat’s overall footprint is small and there is no private outdoor space. Crime levels in the immediate area are above average, and the period walls are likely uninsulated, which could affect running costs. Council tax is moderate. Minimal cosmetic updating is needed, but buyers seeking larger rooms or outdoor gardens should note the limitations.
