Rufford Street, Islington, London N1

Perfectly positioned on a quiet residential turning just moments from the vibrant atmosphere of Coal Drops Yard and Granary Square at King’s Cross, this spacious split-level one-bedroom apartment forms part of a charming period conversion and benefits from access to a communal courtyard. The property is offered with approximately 60 years remaining on the lease (99 years from 8 June 1987) and extends to approximately 643 sq ft (59.7 sq m) across the ground and first floors.

The property offers well-balanced accommodation arranged across two levels, creating a sense of separation between the living and sleeping spaces.

Upon entering the apartment, the hallway leads through to a generous double bedroom positioned at the rear of the property, providing a quiet and peaceful outlook. The ground floor also features a fully fitted bathroom suite and an additional study or home office to the front, which could alternatively be used as a guest room or occasional second bedroom, offering excellent flexibility for modern living.

Ascending the stairs, the first floor opens into a bright and spacious reception room, measuring almost 16ft in width and providing an excellent area for relaxing or entertaining. This flows through to a separate kitchen and dining space, offering ample room for dining and everyday living.

Further benefits include access to a well-maintained communal courtyard, providing a pleasant outdoor space rarely found so close to central London.

Rufford Street is superbly located within easy reach of King’s Cross, one of London’s most exciting and rapidly evolving neighbourhoods. Granary Square and Coal Drops Yard offer a unique blend of restored Victorian architecture and striking contemporary design, now home to an impressive selection of boutique shops, restaurants, cafés and canal-side bars. The area has also become a major business hub, with global headquarters for companies such as Google, Meta (Facebook), YouTube and The Guardian.

The beautiful Barnsbury Conservation Area is also close by, known for its elegant Georgian streets, traditional pubs and village-like atmosphere. Meanwhile, the renowned restaurants, bars and boutiques of Upper Street are within easy reach, offering a wonderful balance between historic Islington charm and the vibrant energy of King’s Cross.
