Perfectly placed between Angel and Old Street stations, the location offers unrivalled access to the City, Islington, Clerkenwell, and Shoreditch while maintaining a peaceful Canalside setting.
The apartment has been thoughtfully designed to maximise light, space, and comfort. The open-plan reception room and kitchen features Siemens appliances, ample dining space, and full-height doors leading onto a generous private south-east facing balcony with tranquil basin views. A separate study provides the flexibility to work from home or use as a third bedroom.
