This bright one-bedroom apartment occupies about 524 sq ft on the first floor of a well-kept Victorian conversion, offering a straightforward home or rental close to Highbury & Islington. The front reception benefits from large sash-style windows and a south-west aspect, providing good natural light and space for a dining table. The double bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and the flat layout is sensible and easy to furnish.
Transport and local amenities are exceptional: Highbury & Islington station is around 0.2 miles away and Upper Street’s shops, cafés and pubs are within effortless walking distance. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, supporting both remote working and lettings. The building is mixed-use period stock, contributing to the area’s character and strong rental demand.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the property is leasehold (long lease remaining), with an average annual service charge of £1,950 and moderate council tax. The building has secondary glazing and is likely uninsulated in its solid brick walls, so heating costs may be higher than modern stock despite a mains gas boiler. Local crime levels are above average and the wider area is classified as very deprived, which may influence long-term capital growth and tenant type.
For first-time buyers the flat offers a manageable central location and scope for modest cosmetic improvements to increase comfort or resale value. For investors it represents a lettable, well-connected unit with clear income potential, albeit with ongoing service charges and maintenance considerations typical of period conversions.
