Floor plan

A bright and well-proportioned one-bedroom first floor flat in a handsome period villa on one of Islington’s finest tree-lined roads, moments from Clissold Park and Highbury & Islington.

THE PROPERTY

A bright and generously proportioned one bedroom flat, arranged on the first floor of an imposing period villa on Highbury New Park — one of the widest and greenest roads in the borough, lined with mature London plane trees.

The building itself is set well back behind clipped hedging, with a paved path leading to an arched entrance porch and a smart, well-kept communal hallway.

The flat opens into a large open reception and dining room, with a pair of tall gothic-arched sash windows framing the treetops to the front. Wide-plank oak flooring runs throughout, and built-in alcove shelving provides useful display and storage. There is comfortable room for both a full seating arrangement and a six-seater dining table — a genuinely rare amount of living space for a one bedroom flat.

The kitchen is separate and fully fitted, with shaker-style units, dark stone worktops, gas hob, oven, extractor hood, and under-cabinet lighting. A window at the end of the run keeps it light throughout the day.

The double bedroom is a quiet, well-proportioned room with a built-in double wardrobe, fitted carpet and a window overlooking greenery.

The bathroom is fully tiled and fitted with a panelled bath with shower over and glass screen, WC, basin and heated towel rail.

The property is warmed by gas central heating throughout and is offered in good decorative order.

LOCATION

Highbury New Park sits in the heart of N5, between Highbury and Stoke Newington, and is one of the most attractive residential streets in Islington.

Canonbury Overground station is a short walk away (approximately 10 mins) which connects with Highbury & Islington (Victoria Line, Overground and Great Northern services into Moorgate and King’s Cross). Frequent bus routes run along Highbury New Park and along St Paul’s Road and Green Lanes.

Clissold Park, Highbury Fields and the New River Path are all within easy reach, as are the independent shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants of Newington Green, Church Street in Stoke Newington and Upper Street
