A beautifully presented and naturally bright two double bedroom split-level apartment, set within an attractive period conversion on the sought-after New North Road. The property sits on Regent's Canal and within walking distance of the amenities of Islington, Shoreditch and Hoxton.
Arranged over the upper floors, the property offers well-balanced accommodation extending to approximately 766 sq ft. The spacious reception room is flooded with natural light from large sash windows and provides an excellent space for both relaxing and entertaining. To the rear, the contemporary kitchen is fitted with a range of sleek wall and base units, integrated appliances and ample worktop space.
Both bedrooms are generous doubles, with the principal bedroom enjoying excellent proportions and attractive views. The stylish family bathroom has been finished to a high standard, featuring a contemporary suite with a separate bath and walk-in shower.
The property further benefits from excellent built-in storage, a welcoming entrance hall and a neutral décor throughout, allowing any purchaser to move straight in.
Perfectly positioned, New North Road provides easy access to the vibrant restaurants, cafés and independent shops of Upper Street, Shoreditch and Hoxton, while the picturesque Regent's Canal and Shoreditch Park are just a short stroll away.
Excellent transport links are available via Old Street, Essex Road, Angel and Highbury & Islington stations, offering swift connections across London. This superb apartment would make an ideal first-time purchase, London home or buy-to-let investment.
Owner's note: We've called New North Road home for nearly 13 years. It's a genuinely friendly stretch of Islington — Quince Bakery's bread became a weekend ritual, Arlington Square Gardens is our favourite quiet spot, and the canal is moments away. The flat is at its best on winter mornings, when light pours through the sash windows and the canal shows through the bare trees. We hope the next owners love it as much as we have.
