Light-filled one-bedroom apartment in a secure gated development, well suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-maintenance base in Islington. The living room benefits from floor-to-ceiling windows and contemporary finishes, while a separate modern kitchen provides practical workspace for everyday cooking. The flat's 543 sq ft layout is comfortable for single occupancy or a couple.
Practical ownership features include a long lease (230 years) and share of freehold, which offer long-term security. Note the property uses electric room heaters rather than gas central heating and has a service charge of approximately £2,140 per year; both factors affect running costs. Council tax is moderate.
Location is a strong selling point: walking distance to Angel Underground, Essex Road and Upper Street amenities, plus nearby green spaces along the canal and Shoreditch Park. The building's recent construction (2007–2011) and double glazing reduce immediate maintenance needs, though the compact kitchen and standard ceiling heights limit opportunities for dramatic internal change.
Overall this is a tidy, modern apartment offering transport convenience and low short-term maintenance, balanced against higher annual service charges and electric heating costs. It will appeal most to buyers prioritising location, security and move-in readiness over expansive living space or low-running-cost heating.
