1 bed Flat For Sale £425,000
This pared-back studio apartment can be found on Brooksby Street, a handsome Victorian brick terrace in Islington. It has a shared garden and sits on a leafy tree-lined street, minutes from the restaurants, bars and cafes of Angel, and the green spaces of Highbury Fields and the slightly further afield Clissold Park and Newington Green. The apartment has been thoughtfully renovated by its current owner with a considered palette of contemporary materials to emphasise the flow of natural light across its lateral layout.
The Tour
The apartment is situated on the lower ground floor and accessed via an ornate cast-iron staircase. Black linoleum flooring runs throughout, providing a wonderful sense of continuity across the open-plan space. The bespoke kitchen has been neatly fitted with adaptable ply cabinetry and a playful pull-out table, and opens onto a communal garden at the rear. Sliding doors off the open-plan kitchen/dining area open to reveal a contemporary bathroom, fitted with sleek sanitary ware and minimal units.
To the front of the plan, the bedroom and main living space centres around a minimal chimney breast and is illuminated by light from a large window. In the hall, there is a storage cupboard and space for hanging clothes. The apartment has been cleverly configured to maximise living space while maintaining a real sense of volume.
The Area
Brooksby Street is located a short walk from the shops and restaurants of Upper Street and is perfectly positioned for the best of Highbury, Islington and neighbouring Stoke Newington. The area has some very good gastro pubs, particularly The Drapers Arms and The Albion. The much-admired shops and restaurants of Highbury Barn are close by, such as Godfrey’s butchers, Bourne’s fishmongers, Da Mario deli, Thai restaurant Farang and the original branch of La Fromagerie. There are further delights to be found in nearby Newington Green, including bakeries such as Jolene, a greengrocer, an Italian deli, a florist and a health-food shop, as well as numerous restaurants including the popular Primeur, Westerns Laundry, and Perilla.
The green open spaces of Highbury Fields – which has tennis courts, a playground and a swimming pool – Clissold Park, and Finsbury Park are within easy walking distance.
The Underground is available at Highbury & Islington (Victoria Line), Angel (Northern Line) and Caledonian Road (Piccadilly Line), and Overground services run from Caledonian Road & Barnsbury. The Eurostar at King’s Cross St Pancras is also easily accessible.
