Excellent transport links (Angel, Essex Road and multiple buses) and immediate access to Regent’s Canal, cafés and Upper Street’s amenities deliver genuine urban convenience and lifestyle appeal.
Practical running costs and obligations should be noted: the property is leasehold with a service charge of approximately £3,061 pa and a ground rent of £150 pa. Heating is provided via a community mains-gas scheme, which may limit individual control and should be checked for future costs. The apartment is modest in size (c.453 sq ft) so it suits buyers wanting a low-maintenance, well-located home rather than large living spaces.
The surrounding neighbourhood is inner-city and cosmopolitan with strong local amenities, but the area scores high on deprivation measures; buyers should weigh local social conditions alongside the transport and lifestyle benefits. Overall, this is a practical, modern pied-à-terre or first home for someone prioritising location, transport and contemporary finish over large internal space.
