This penthouse occupies the upper two levels of an iconic New River Head development, offering expansive living across approximately 1,100 sq ft. The bright, dual-aspect reception opens onto a large private roof terrace with striking City skyline views — a rare outdoor space in central Islington. Two double bedrooms, a snug and vaulted kitchen spaces make the layout flexible for comfortable city living.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space, 24-hour concierge and on-site gym, plus a very long lease (969 years). The building’s community heating and mains gas supply simplify services, and excellent local transport links (Angel, Farringdon) put the West End and City within easy reach.
Buyers should note material running costs: the service charge is high at £10,400 pa and council tax is described as expensive. There is a single bathroom for two bedrooms, and the original solid brick construction likely lacks modern wall insulation. These are manageable but important considerations for budgeting and any comfort upgrades.
Overall, this penthouse will suit buyers seeking a spacious, characterful central London home with outstanding outdoor terrace and parking — ideal for professionals, small families or pied-à-terre owners wanting immediate access to Angel and Exmouth Market.
