Set within Barlow House on the Provost Estate, this first-floor two-bedroom apartment offers a rare central-N1 footprint of approximately 795 sq ft. The flat is presented in good decorative order with a bright reception room, separate kitchen, two double bedrooms and a modern bathroom — ready for immediate rental or occupation.
Location is the property’s strongest asset: Old Street Station (Northern Line & Overground) is close by and the flat sits between Upper Street, Hoxton Square and Shoreditch. That connectivity, plus nearby Regent’s Canal and Wenlock Basin, supports strong tenant demand from professionals working in the City and Tech City.
Practical details for buyers: the tenure is leasehold with 98 years remaining and an average service charge of £2,222. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators; the building dates from 1930–1949 and has solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated). There is no private external space and double glazing is fitted though the installation date is unknown.
Important considerations: the area records above-average crime statistics and a high level of local deprivation, which may affect resale or rental yields for some buyers. These factual points should be weighed against the strong transport links, size for central London and immediate usability of the accommodation.
