A charming one-bedroom flat set within an imposing period terrace on Wallace Road, offering direct sole use of a 33'1 rear garden and a separate store. The apartment makes the most of its generous proportions — a 17'8 reception room and high ceilings give a light, airy feel while retained period details add character. The private entrance feels like a small house rather than a typical flat.
This home suits a first-time buyer seeking a comfortable base in N1 or an investor after a lettable one-bed with outdoor space. The share of freehold is a practical ownership perk. Location is a strong selling point: Canonbury Overground is moments away, Highbury Fields and Clissold Park are within walking distance, and Upper Street’s shops and cafés are close by.
Buyers should note some practical considerations. The building dates from c.1900–1929 and the walls are solid brick with no known cavity insulation, so energy performance and heating costs may be higher than modern builds. Crime levels in the immediate area are above average. The flat is average-sized at about 537 sq ft, so storage and layout planning are important despite the garden and external store.
Overall, this is a well-located period one-bedroom with outdoor space and private access, offering immediate liveability with clear scope for energy improvements and cosmetic updating to add value.
