Set within an elegant Victorian mansion block on Highbury New Park, this well-presented one-bedroom apartment offers a comfortable, turn-key home for a first-time buyer or couple. The bright open-plan reception, dining and kitchen is flooded with natural light from large sash windows, and the double bedroom benefits from fitted storage throughout.
Residents enjoy access to well-maintained communal gardens — a rare private green space in central London — and excellent local amenities. Clissold Park and Highbury Fields are within easy walking distance, while Canonbury, Highbury & Islington and Arsenal stations provide fast links across the city.
Practical ownership features include share of freehold and a chain-free sale, making transaction straightforward. The flat is circa 550 sq ft, an average one-bedroom footprint for the area: well laid out but not suited to buyers needing large family space.
Notable running costs and fabric notes are clear: an average annual service charge of around £2,600 applies, and the building’s solid brick construction (typical of its 1900–1929 era) likely offers limited cavity insulation without later upgrades. Council tax band is not stated. These points are important for budget planning and potential energy-efficiency improvements.
