The Modern House says ..
Exacting in its attention to detail, this exquisite two-bedroom apartment occupies part of a former bookbinding workshop on the south side of leafy Barnsbury Square.
Property Oracle says ..
The property is located in Barnsbury Square, Barnsbury, Islington, a highly desirable area of London. The location benefits from excellent transport links, with Caledonian Road & Barnsbury Overground station just 0.58km away, and Highbury & Islington Underground station within a 1km radius. Several bus routes also serve the area. The proximity to well-regarded schools such as Thornhill Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and The Bridge Integrated Learning Space (‘Outstanding’) adds to its family-friendly appeal. The area also offers various amenities, including shops and places of interest. This makes the location score high.
Based on the images provided, the property appears to be in excellent condition. It has been recently renovated or refurbished to a high standard, with modern fixtures, fittings and a contemporary design throughout. The kitchen and bathrooms are particularly impressive, showcasing high-quality materials and finishes. There is no visible evidence of wear and tear or the need for repairs.
The property is an apartment, therefore it does not have a garden or significant land associated with it.
The list price of £1,650,000 for a 1,048.40 sqft apartment is relatively high compared to the average price of £926,842 and average price per sqft of £1,173.00 in the area. However, considering the property’s prime location in Barnsbury, its exceptional condition, and the high-quality finishes, the price may be justified. Nearby comparable properties on Barnsbury Square support this assessment, with several terraced houses selling for over £1,000,000. The lack of plot size information makes a definitive price comparison challenging. The price is likely influenced by the desirability of the location and the high standard of the renovation.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
