Top-floor one-bed with sunny balcony and excellent transport links.
Top-floor one-bedroom with southerly balcony and strong natural light
Bright top-floor one-bedroom in the heart of Barnsbury, set within a well-maintained modern development. The southerly-facing balcony and large windows bring generous daylight into the open-plan living and kitchen area, while the bedroom benefits from fitted storage. At about 475 sq ft with an EPC B, the apartment feels modern and efficient.
Location is a primary strength: short walks to Upper Street and the Angel, excellent connections via Angel and Highbury & Islington (Northern, Victoria and Overground lines), plus a wide choice of shops, cafés and good schools nearby. Fast broadband and strong mobile signal make this a practical base for working from home.
Buyers should note key running costs and specifics: the property is leasehold with c.174 years remaining and an above-average service charge of £4,238pa. Heating is via electric storage heaters rather than gas, which may affect running costs and heating flexibility. Crime levels in the area are above average — worth checking personal priorities around safety and security.
Overall, this flat will suit a first-time buyer or an investor wanting a centrally located, low-maintenance one-bed with good light and transport links. It offers immediate move-in convenience with scope to personalise finishes and potentially improve energy/comfort by upgrading heating in the future.
