This bright raised ground-floor one-bedroom flat occupies 627 sq ft within an imposing Victorian terrace, offering high ceilings and period character. Large reception and bedroom rooms (both 15'8") create a spacious feel uncommon for a one-bed in N5. The open-plan kitchen, separate WC and utility room add practical convenience for everyday living and storage.
The flat is chain free and sold as a share of freehold with 123 years remaining on the lease, making it straightforward to buy and manage. Canonbury Overground is a two-minute walk away and Upper Street, Newington Green and local green spaces (Highbury Fields, Clissold Park) are close by — strong location benefits for commuting, leisure and social life.
Buyers should note some material negatives: the building’s solid-brick construction is assumed uninsulated, so heating costs and retrofit work could be needed. The local crime rate is above average, which may concern some purchasers. Council tax information is not provided and glazing details are undefined, so budget for basic upgrades and checks.
This property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a large one-bedroom in a well-connected, characterful part of Islington. It offers clear potential to personalise and improve energy performance while benefitting from a long lease and immediate availability.
