Bright, well-presented one-bedroom apartment on the first floor of an imposing Victorian terrace in Barnsbury. The semi-open plan kitchen/living/dining room opens onto a private roof terrace, ideal for al-fresco meals and entertaining. Large bedroom with high ceilings and built-in wardrobe space provides comfortable sleeping accommodation. The flat measures approximately 457 sqft and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating.
Located in the Barnsbury conservation area, the home is equidistant from Angel and Highbury & Islington stations, with Upper Street’s shops, cafes and restaurants only a short walk away. Nearby schools include several outstanding and good-rated primaries and secondaries, making the area suitable for buyers seeking long-term neighbourhood quality and excellent transport links.
Practical details: the property is sold as a share of freehold with about 93 years remaining on the lease and a below-average service charge of £500. The building is solid-brick Victorian construction (likely no wall insulation), so buyers should consider potential retrofit or insulation work. Local crime levels are above average — worth checking for personal comfort and insurance considerations.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a characterful central London base with outdoor space and strong transport connections. It offers immediate move-in condition with clear potential to personalise, while requiring attention to lease length and possible building upgrade works.
