Summary:
Enjoy a stay in this designer apartment in Islington, full of light with high ceilings and sash windows. This period property is located on the 1st floor of a Grade II Listed building on a quiet tree-lined avenue in the Barnsbury conservation area. Located just off Upper Street in a charming and historic neighbourhood with plenty of shops, pubs and cafes within 5 minutes walking distance and easy access to Central London.
The Space:
Huge spaces, 1 king double bedroom, newly renovated kitchen, bathroom with shower and bath - experience the perfect blend of classic architecture and contemporary living in this prime location.
The property is central enough to be easily accessible from the heart of the city, but local enough to have a neighbourhood feel.
Guest Access:
Access to the entire apartment on the 1st floor access via stairs.
The Neighborhood:
Nestled in the heart of Highbury and Islington this period property is a stones throw from the bustling Upper Street where you can find an array of restaurants and shops. Highbury fields is 6 minute walk and you can get to the waterside by Regent’s Canal to watch the sun go down, or take a stroll in the greenery of Highbury Fields. Then take yourselves off to a local pub such as the Draper’s Arms or The Albion, followed by delicious pasta at Trullo for dinner. For the morning, I’d recommend coffee and croissants from the local deli, Superette, or take a walk to High Ground or Pophams.
Getting Around:
Tube: You can walk to Highbury and Islington tube in 6 minutes. From there you can get to Kings Cross in 2 mins and Oxford Circus in 10 mins on the Victoria Line. Overground trains also run from there to Shoreditch, Dalston, Clapham Junction, Canada Water and Stratford.
It’s a 15 minute walk to Angel tube (northern line). Access from Angel in five minutes to Bank and seven to London Bridge.
Buses: Islington is well served by buses, with 19 routes connecting through Angel. Most buses run regularly outside Islington Town Hall, a couple of minutes walk away.
Cycle: Cyclists love living in Islington as it is relatively flat and offers straightforward routes to the City and the West End. Angel has several Boris Bike docking stations. You will also find many electric bikes around!

Walking distance to The Almeida Theatre, Sadlers Wells, Highbury Fields, Exmouth Market, Broadway Market, Columbia Road Flower Market and Camden Passage.
Other Things to Note:
The sofa is more decorative than plush. Has a beautiful Art Deco style, great for a short sit or for adding character to the space, but not ideal for extended lounging.
There is a small TV in the bedroom
The home is on the first floor. You are required to climb stairs in the building to reach the flat.
