Located a short walk from Caledonian Road Underground station, this bright one-bedroom apartment with private balcony is situated on the first floor of a purpose-built block designed by Sir Basil Spence, one of Britain’s most celebrated Modernist architects.

Entry is via a wide entrance hall to an open-plan reception room and kitchen. Timber-framed glazing along one aspect overlooks the communal lawns and there is a door to the west-facing balcony, which is also accessible from the double bedroom. Next to the modern bathroom is a large cupboard with utility appliances and storage space, of which there is an abundance throughout the apartment.

There are a number of excellent pubs in the area, including St John’s Tavern and The Landseer, and a weekly farmers’ market is held at the Tufnell Park Tavern. London Metropolitan University is approximately seven minutes’ walk.

The area has excellent transport links, with connections to the Piccadilly Line at nearby Holloway Road and Caledonian Road stations (both around five minutes’ walk). Highbury and Islington station, a short bus ride away, has Victoria Line and London Overground services.
