Light-filled one-bedroom apartment in Whiston House, set on an upper floor with lift access and pleasant outlook over mature communal gardens. The open-plan living room with recessed kitchen creates a sociable living space; the double bedroom and bathroom are well-proportioned for comfortable city living. At about 474 sq ft, the flat suits a first-time buyer or a city-based professional seeking a manageable home close to transport and amenities.
Location is a strong selling point: 0.5 miles from Highbury & Islington station and within walking distance of Upper Street, Essex Road and Angel, providing quick links into central London. The building dates from the 1930s–40s, offering period character alongside modern finishes inside and double glazing (installation date unknown).
Be clear on the costs and maintenance: the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining, an average service charge of £2,400pa and a ground rent of £600pa. The block appears well-kept, but the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and the double glazing date is unknown, so expect running costs and potential retrofit work if energy efficiency improvements are needed.
Practical notes: communal gardens and on-street parking are useful extras, and the development benefits from a lift. However, local recorded crime is high, which may concern some buyers; viewings will confirm personal comfort with the area. Overall, the flat offers a compact, well-located home with straightforward potential for cosmetic updates or rental occupation.
