Set atop the iconic Canal Building, this 1,700 sq ft penthouse delivers dramatic double-height living and expansive City views across Islington. Two private terraces and floor-to-ceiling glazing bring light and outdoor space to the principal entertaining level, while a principal suite on the upper floor offers privacy, fitted storage and an en suite shower room. The apartment includes a second bedroom, additional bathrooms and useful storage throughout.
Practical comforts include secure garage parking and a 24-hour concierge, rare for central London apartments and helpful for owners or tenants. The property is offered leasehold (very long lease remaining: 972 years) and sits within easy reach of Angel, Old Street and Shoreditch amenities and transport links.
Buyers should note some period construction details: the building dates from the 1930s–1940s and walls are assumed to be solid brick with no added insulation. Heating runs from electric boiler and radiators and glazing is double but install date is unknown — these factors may affect running costs and potential retrofit work. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Overall, the flat suits buyers seeking a spacious, characterful penthouse with city panoramas and strong rental or owner-occupier appeal, while accepting potential upgrade and running-cost considerations.
