This fifth-floor two-bedroom, two-bathroom flat offers over 1,000 sq ft of contemporary living with an exceptional private roof terrace — a rare London find. The open-plan reception has large windows and flows to the terrace, creating an extended entertaining space with city views. Both bedrooms are doubles with fitted wardrobes and the principal bedroom has an en suite; the main bathroom is modern and well appointed. The building has lift access and modern double glazing; EPC rating B.
The location provides superb connectivity: Drayton Park, Holloway Road, Highbury & Islington and Arsenal stations are all within easy reach, making commutes to the City and West End straightforward. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent for home working; local independent shops, cafés and Highbury Fields are nearby. The lease has about 104 years remaining and the flat is sold leasehold.
Practical considerations: council tax sits in band F and ground rent is £200 per year, so running costs are higher than average. The local area records very high crime levels and is classified as deprived — buyers should factor neighbourhood considerations into their decision. There are no notable flooding risks and the building dates from the late 1990s/early 2000s.
This property suits professionals, couples or downsizers wanting generous indoor space with outdoor living and excellent transport links. It offers immediate move-in condition for those who prioritise location and terrace space, while investors or buyers seeking quieter, lower-cost neighbourhoods should weigh running costs and local crime statistics.
