Light-filled split-level two-bed with long west-facing balcony and strong Highbury location..
Top two floors of a period conversion with character features
Set over the top two floors of a period conversion in Highbury, this split-level two-bedroom apartment offers a bright, airy living space and a long west-facing balcony ideal for evening sun. The upper floor hosts an open-plan kitchen-reception with large windows and glazed doors that flood the room with light, while the lower floor contains two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, one en-suite.
Practically minded buyers will appreciate the 108-year lease and share of freehold, plus easy access to Arsenal and Highbury & Islington stations and frequent bus routes. Local amenities include top-rated primary and secondary schools, independent shops, cafes and green spaces such as Highbury Fields and Clissold Park — useful for families or professionals seeking an inner-city location with community feel.
Buyers should note the property’s EPC rating of E and that heating is electric underfloor, with walls that appear to be solid brick and likely lacking modern insulation. These factors could mean higher running costs and scope for improvement; the apartment suits someone prepared to upgrade thermal performance and energy efficiency.
Overall, this is a comfortable, characterful period conversion with strong location benefits and scope to add value through practical energy and insulation works. It will particularly appeal to families or buyers wanting an inner-London two-bed with outdoor space and good local schools.
