Occupying 868 sq ft across two levels, this recently refurbished one-bedroom apartment in The Beaux Arts Building delivers an unusually spacious, light-filled city home. A double-height living area with 4.85m ceiling height and floor-to-ceiling windows gives a strong sense of volume and a clear view over the landscaped communal gardens. The modern kitchen, newly refitted bathroom and mezzanine bedroom create a comfortable, contemporary layout suited to single buyers or couples.
Residents benefit from practical onsite amenities: 24-hour concierge, gym with sauna and steam room, allocated covered parking and secure communal gardens. The property is offered chain free with a share of freehold and an exceptionally long lease (996 years), which simplifies buying and future saleability.
Buyers should note running costs and fabric specifics: service charges are relatively high at £5,400 per year (water included), council tax is above average and heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal gas system. The building dates from 1909 and has solid brick walls with no assumed cavity insulation — this may affect heating costs and suggests limited thermal performance unless upgraded.
The apartment sits in an inner-city cosmopolitan pocket of Islington close to independent shops, cafés and transport links. While the immediate area shows higher-than-average crime statistics and some local deprivation, the building’s secure concierge, private garden and parking offer a quieter, protected environment within a busy urban setting. This is a strong option for a first-time buyer seeking generous, characterful space with modern finishes and long-term tenure security.
