This bright 1-bedroom flat (485 sq ft) on Highbury Hill offers a comfortable, well-laid-out home in a sought-after north London location. The reception room is spacious enough for lounge and dining furniture, and a separate kitchen gives sensible everyday practicality. A private walkway and secure entry add a feeling of privacy, while a tidy communal garden provides outside space shared with neighbours.
Transport links are a strong asset: Arsenal Underground and Drayton Park Overground are within minutes, and buses give quick access to the City. Local shops, cafés and Highbury Barn amenities are an easy walk away, making the flat convenient for first-time buyers who want an urban base with local character.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with an average annual service charge of £2,124 and a nominal ground rent of £10. The building dates from 1967–1975 and the brick walls are assumed uninsulated; double glazing was installed before 2002 and the EPC is D, so further energy improvements may be advisable.
At £400,000 the property is well-placed for buyers prioritising location and convenience, and it also suits investors looking for lettings demand in a strong transport corridor. The accommodation is ready to occupy but offers clear scope for modest updating to improve energy performance and styling.
