A bright, well-presented one-bedroom flat set on the first floor of a handsome stucco-fronted period house in Barnsbury. The living room benefits from high ceilings, a fireplace and good natural light, making the compact 380 sq ft layout feel airy. The apartment includes a double bedroom, fitted kitchen and a bathroom — ready to move into with scope to personalise.
The location is a major draw: Hemingford Road sits between Highbury & Islington and Angel, within easy walking distance of stations, Upper Street shops and local green spaces. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit working from home or streaming, and nearby schools (including two outstanding secondaries) add family-friendly convenience.
Practical considerations: the building dates from the 1930–49 period and has solid brick walls (likely without cavity insulation), so heating costs may be higher than modern equivalents. The flat is sold as a share of freehold with a below-average service charge of £650, but council tax is not confirmed. At this size, storage and entertaining space are limited — best suited to a single occupant or couple, first-time buyers, or investors seeking a well-located city let.
Overall, this flat offers an attractive entry into a highly desirable central London neighbourhood with period charm and strong transport links. Buyers should visit to confirm layout, storage and heating performance, and to assess any refurbishment preferences.
