Spanning over 1,000 sqft, this two-bedroom period conversion occupies the top two floors of a handsome Victorian mid-terrace. High ceilings and generous room proportions give a strong sense of space and light; the wide reception room faces the street while an eat-in kitchen sits to the rear with direct access to a private garden.
Practical positives include a modern family bathroom, mains gas boiler and radiators, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for commuting and working from home. Transport links are strong with Highbury & Islington, Arsenal and Drayton Park stations close by, and a wide range of local shops and food amenities within easy walking distance.
Important tenancy and cost details are straightforward but material: the property is leasehold with 99 years remaining, an average service charge of £1,270 and a nominal ground rent of £10. Council tax is above average for the area. The building dates from before 1900 and has solid brick construction, so there is likely limited wall insulation compared with modern homes.
Buyers should weigh local context: the area is classified as deprived with very high crime levels, which may affect suitability for some families and long-term resale expectations. The flat’s size, period character and private garden present strong appeal for first-time buyers or investors prepared to accept the local social challenges or invest in targeted improvements (insulation, soundproofing, cosmetic updating).
