Set high above City Road on the 19th floor, this one-bedroom apartment delivers sweeping rooftop views and bright, dual-aspect living across 533 sq ft. Floor-to-ceiling windows and an open-plan reception flow onto a private balcony, creating a light, modern feel ideal for urban living or letting.
Part of a luxury development, the property benefits from 24-hour concierge and extensive resident facilities including a pool, gym, spa and private cinema — strong appeal for professionals and tenants seeking convenience and lifestyle. The long lease (990 years) removes common leasehold concerns and supports mortgageability and resale.
Practical points are straightforward: the apartment is leasehold with an annual ground rent of £500 and council tax above average. The building uses a community heating scheme. The surrounding area is inner-city and lively with excellent transport links (Old Street 0.1 mile) and many local amenities, but note the local crime level is high — important for buyers assessing security and insurance costs.
This apartment suits buyers seeking a ready-to-live-in city pied-à-terre or a high-demand rental in a premium development. It offers immediate lifestyle benefits and long-term ease of ownership, with clear considerations around running costs and urban location noise and security.
