Bright, spacious and well-located, this 1,015 sq ft three-double-bedroom flat sits on the second floor of a period mansion block on Essex Road. The 23'6" reception room, high ceilings and a balcony give a sense of scale and light, while an open-plan, recently updated kitchen with island suits modern family living and entertaining. Two bathrooms add practical convenience for a growing household.
Practical strengths include chain-free sale, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus sensible running costs: a below-average service charge of £900 and a low ground rent of £10. Nearby transport links (Angel Underground, Essex Road Overground) and local amenities — shops, cafes, doctors and parks — make daily life straightforward. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, including William Tyndale (Outstanding) and City of London Academy Islington.
Buyers should note material facts: the property is leasehold with 85 years remaining, secondary glazing, and solid brick walls that likely lack cavity insulation. The local area records high crime and very high deprivation indices, which may concern some purchasers. Council tax band is unknown. Overall, the flat offers a roomy, modernised home in a lively central location but carries typical inner-city considerations around safety, energy performance and lease length.
