1 bedroom flat for sale

A beautifully character-rich one bedroom apartment, thoughtfully renovated throughout to create a stylish yet highly functional home, blending original features with intelligent modern design.

The property was fully renovated in 2017, including a full rewire and new plumbing, with new radiators installed and a replacement boiler fitted in 2020. Underfoot, kiln-fired bamboo parquet flooring runs seamlessly throughout, adding warmth, durability, and a contemporary finish.

The natural tones of the exposed plaster have been intentionally retained as a decorative feature, creating a calm, neutral backdrop that is both distinctive and ready to personalise. The colour palette takes inspiration from traces of original 1950s paint discovered during the renovation, including the striking blue ceilings, which add depth and character to the space.

The living area is full of charm, centred around a sandstone fireplace with bespoke, specially fired tiles sourced from the well-known fireplace shop on City Road. A custom-designed curtain feature wall wraps elegantly around the corner of the room, hung on a specially fitted rail, adding texture and visual interest.

The kitchen has been designed with practicality at its core, favouring open, easy-reach storage over traditional cupboards. Hanging rails and meat hooks will remain, enhancing both functionality and character, while a charming original dark grey cupboard off the hallway provides an ideal kitchen larder. Both the kitchen and bathroom are finished with classic square tiles, chosen for their timeless appeal.

Further benefits include additional secure storage on the landing outside the front door, and the option to rent a bike shed located directly opposite the main access door.

Location-wise, the property is superbly positioned for transport and local amenities. Holloway Road (Piccadilly Line) and Caledonian Road stations are both within easy reach, offering swift access into Central London, while Highbury & Islington is about a 12 minutes walk from Courtney court offering multiple access throughout London such as (Victoria Line, Overground, and National Rail) provides excellent connectivity across the capital. Multiple bus routes are also close by.

Courtney Road sits moments from the vibrant amenities of Highbury & Islington with its array of cafés, shops, and supermarkets, while the green open spaces of Highbury Fields and the leisure facilities of Emirates Stadium are nearby. The area is well regarded for its community feel, independent eateries, and excellent transport links.

This is a unique and thoughtfully crafted home, ideal for buyers seeking character, quality workmanship, and a genuinely move-in-ready property with scope to personalise.
