Summary - TRANSENNA WORKS, 1 FLAT 12 LAYCOCK STREET LONDON N1 1SJ
2 bed 2 bath Duplex
Loft-style two-bedroom duplex with two balconies near Highbury & Islington station.
Two double bedrooms, one en-suite and two bathrooms
A bright two-bedroom duplex in a converted factory, set across the top two floors and arranged for flexible living. The upper level hosts a large kitchen/reception with sliding doors to a south-facing roof terrace; the lower level contains two double bedrooms (one en-suite) and access to the second balcony. High ceilings, large windows and exposed brick give the apartment an industrial-loft feel and generous natural light.
Practical details suit urban buyers: share of freehold with 99 years remaining, no ground rent, gas central heating, double glazing and fast ultrafast broadband. The gated development offers added security and the flat is a short walk from Highbury & Islington station and Upper Street amenities — cafés, restaurants and shops are all close by.
Buyers should note the location’s challenges: recorded local crime levels are very high and the wider area is classed as deprived. Service charge is approximately £3,680 per year and council tax sits in band E. The building dates from the early 20th century with assumed solid brick walls and no guaranteed external wall insulation, so thermal performance may lag modern builds.
This property suits a buyer seeking a spacious, characterful inner‑city home with good transport links and rental potential, or an owner-occupier who values loft-style living and proximity to Islington’s social amenities. Be prepared to factor ongoing service charges and potential retrofit costs into your budget.
