Summary - Ground Floor Flat, 256 St Pauls Road N1 2LJ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Characterful one-bed close to Highbury & Islington transport and Upper Street amenities.
Chain-free ground-floor one-bedroom period conversion
Set within a handsome period conversion on St Pauls Road, this ground-floor one-bedroom flat brings classic Victorian character to a convenient N1 location. Tall sash windows, original cornicing and high ceilings give the living room abundant natural light and a feeling of space, while a separate kitchen and three-piece bathroom complete the practical layout.
The property is chain-free and comes with a long lease (approx. 176 years), making it straightforward to purchase. At about 497 sq ft, the flat suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a well-connected home near Highbury & Islington station and Upper Street’s shops, cafés and restaurants. Green spaces such as Highbury Fields and Clissold Park are within easy reach.
There are some practical drawbacks to note: the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation (assumed), which can affect running costs and may require retrofit insulation or heating upgrades. The flat is on the ground floor, which can mean less privacy and potential street noise. Local recorded crime levels are higher than average for the area, which buyers should consider alongside the convenience of excellent transport and amenities.
Overall this is a characterful, well-located flat offering immediate move-in potential and scope for energy improvements. It will suit buyers who prioritise location, period features and easy access to central Islington, and who are comfortable managing or budgeting for retrofit and security considerations.
