1 bed flat for sale

Leconfield Road, London N5

Summary

A wonderfully bright studio apartment positioned on a hugely popular, tree-lined street in Highbury, N5. Standing close to 700 sq ft, the property offers an outstanding opportunity for someone to personalise, enhance, and add value. The accommodation comprises a good-sized double bedroom to the front of the building, a modern shower room, and a spacious eat-in kitchen. From the kitchen, there is direct access to a beautifully mature, east-facing communal garden, which also benefits from a private timber shed currently fitted out and used as a fully functional home office, ideal for remote working or creative use (please note: The shed is not part of the lease but is in regular private use).

The lower ground level, included within the property's lease, provides a large and highly practical cellar used for storage. With ceiling heights of 1.65 m in the lower level and 2.83 m in the studio, the combined height of 4.48 m offers exciting potential for further development. Two previously approved planning applications (now lapsed) demonstrate the feasibility of raising the existing wooden floor to create either a self-contained studio flat below or a separate one-bedroom apartment, highlighting the property's unique scope for expansion.

Leconfield Road is located within a short distance of the open green spaces of Highbury Fields and the prestigious Highbury Barn. Clissold Park is found at the end of Petherton Road, with a lido, small zoo and playground it has something for everyone. It is also just moments from the fantastic restaurants, pubs and shops of the vibrant Stoke Newington Church Street. The property is not far from Canonbury Overground, taking you straight into the City, west, east and south London. Highbury and Islington tube (Victoria Line) and Arsenal tube (Piccadilly Line) are both close to the property as are numerous bus routes taking you to the City, London Bridge and Angel.
