Bright, compact and well-located, this first-floor one-bedroom conversion offers straightforward city living in Holloway. The open-plan kitchen/reception benefits from dual sash windows, wood flooring and a modern fitted kitchen, creating an airy social space that suits everyday living or entertaining. At about 370 sq ft the footprint is modest, so the layout is most suitable for a first-time buyer, pied-à-terre or buy-to-let investor looking for low-maintenance city base.
The double bedroom sits to the rear with fitted storage and a peaceful, tree-screened aspect. A contemporary bathroom with full-sized bath and shower completes the accommodation. The building retains period character externally (stucco facade, sash windows) while the interior presents a clean, contemporary finish that requires minimal immediate work.
Practical details to note: the flat is leasehold with a long term remaining (982 years), an annual service charge around £2,000 and ground rent of £250. The property sits in an area with above-average crime rates and higher local deprivation, but benefits from excellent transport links via Holloway Road, Finsbury Park and Archway and fast mobile and broadband connectivity.
Overall this is a compact, well-presented period conversion that trades space for location and convenience. It will appeal to first-time buyers or investors seeking a move-in-ready central London flat with period charm and modern fittings, provided they are comfortable with the small footprint and the running costs associated with communal charges.
