This bright two-bedroom top-floor flat occupies the entire top floor of a Georgian period conversion on Liverpool Road, offering high ceilings, large sash windows and period character. The apartment includes a separate kitchen, a 200 sq ft living room that overlooks a private quarter share of the communal garden and well-proportioned bedrooms suited to first-time buyers or couples.
Practical benefits include a long lease (112 years), chain-free sale and excellent transport links: Highbury & Islington and Caledonian Road stations are both about 0.5 miles away, with frequent buses to the City and West End. Fast broadband and strong mobile signal support home working and streaming.
Buyers should note this is a solid-brick Victorian/Georgian building with assumed lack of cavity insulation, so heating costs could be higher than modern homes. Service charges are listed at £1,661 (approx.), council tax is above average and there is a small ground rent. The property sits in an area described as very deprived, though local crime levels are low and outstanding-rated schools are within reach.
Overall this chain-free, characterful flat is an attractive, practical entry point to N7 living for a buyer who values period proportions, outdoor space and transport links, and who is comfortable budgeting for ongoing service charges and potential retrofit works to improve insulation and energy efficiency.
