A bright two-bedroom lower-ground garden flat set in a handsome Victorian terrace on sought-after Highbury Hill. The apartment offers well-proportioned rooms, high Georgian ceilings in the main reception and a private paved garden — rare extras for a central London flat.
The layout suits couples or small families: two double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a semi open-plan kitchen/reception provide flexible living across 885 sq ft. Practical benefits include a long share-of-freehold lease (c.978 years) and no ground rent. Local amenities, good schools and excellent transport links make day-to-day life convenient.
Be clear about the practical considerations: the building dates from before 1900 with solid brick walls and no built-in insulation, and the property has an EPC rating of D. Annual service charges are around £3,500 and the council tax is above average (Band E). These factors are reflected in running costs and potential energy upgrades — an opportunity for buyers planning improvement works.
This home blends period character with contemporary updates and a private outdoor space, making it attractive to professionals and small families seeking a central, well-connected Highbury address with scope to add long-term value.
