Islington Charm

This beautifully refurbished one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment is a perfect retreat for two in Barnsbury, Islington. Flooded with natural light and featuring wooden flooring and a modern kitchen, the home offers a peaceful space with a shared courtyard garden. Just moments from Upper Street, excellent transport links, and local attractions, it’s an ideal base for exploring North London.

Natural light floods through large windows into the L-shaped open-plan living space, where you'll find a comfortable sofa, wall-mounted TV, and a small dining table that works equally well for meals or remote working. The kitchen features clean white units with plenty of storage, a gas hob, fridge, and everything you need for self-catering. Stylish wooden flooring and a neutral colour palette run throughout, creating a calm and contemporary feel.

The master bedroom benefits from dual-aspect windows that flood the space with light. A king-size bed, wooden blinds, and an abundance of hanging and drawer space ensure you can properly unpack and settle in. The large bathroom features a semi-circular bathtub with overhead shower and generous storage.

A shared courtyard garden is accessed via a gate to the side of the main entrance - a welcome green space in the heart of the city.

Your Neighbourhood
You're in the heart of Barnsbury, one of Islington's most desirable pockets. Islington's buzzing Upper Street is just a short walk away, offering café culture, nightlife, and independent boutiques. The area is rich with local attractions including the Almeida Theatre, The London Canal Museum, and The Charterhouse Heritage Museum, while nearby parks and canal walks provide breathing space.

Celebrated gastropubs like the Duchess of Kent, the Albion, and the Drapers Arms are all within easy reach, as is the elegant Arundel Square with its mature trees and beautiful gardens. For provisions, you'll find Waitrose, Sainsbury's, and Tesco all close by. The Kings Cross regeneration - including Granary Square and Coal Drops Yard with its restaurants and shops - is also worth exploring.

Transport connections are excellent. Highbury & Islington station offers National Rail, Victoria Line, and London Overground services. Caledonian Road & Barnsbury overground stations are nearby, and King's Cross St Pancras is around 1.2 miles away. Numerous bus routes connect you to central London.

We Love
Those dual-aspect windows in the bedroom create a wonderfully bright space to wake up in. The shared courtyard garden is a real bonus - perfect for morning coffee or unwinding after a day exploring the city. And the location? You're genuinely in the sweet spot between Barnsbury's residential calm and Upper Street's vibrant energy.
