This impeccable two-bedroom apartment sits on the first floor of a smart block in Islington, north London. A living, kitchen and dining area opens onto a private balcony, while kitchen cabinetry is washed in 'Yves Klein' blue. The apartment has two immaculate bathrooms; one with a bath and one with a shower. The pubs, restaurants, shops and cafés of Dalston, De Beauvoir and Islington are all close by, as is The Regent's Canal. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>The Tour <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>This apartment sits on the first floor of a striking steel-clad contemporary building. On entry, a bright hallway is flooded with light care of a set of full-height windows with obscure glass. A large utility cupboard provides storage for a washing machine, coats and shoes. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>In the kitchen, living and dining area, a wall of glazing opens onto a private decked balcony. Vibrant blue cabinetry defines the kitchen, and appliances include a Neff oven, electric hob and microwave, CDA dishwasher and fridge. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>The apartment has two double bedrooms, each with full-height fitted storage. The larger of the two has a glazed door onto the balcony and an en suite shower room, and is currently used as a home office. The second bedroom has fitted bookshelves, recessed into the wall. A second bathroom with a bathtub completes the plan. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>Residents have access to secure bicycle storage. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>Outdoor Space <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>A decked private balcony with glass balustrade is perfect for sitting out, and for growing herbs and potted plants. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>The Area <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>The apartment is conveniently positioned for the pubs, restaurants, shops and cafés of Dalston, De Beauvoir and Islington. The Scolt Head and The De Beauvoir Arms are both excellent and close to the apartment. De Beauvoir Deli is also a few minutes’ walk away and is a firm local favourite, offering locally sourced produce alongside seasonal fruit and vegetables, sandwiches and salads. Sweet Thursday offers Neapolitan-style pizza with craft beers and wine. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>Other excellent local spots include Batch Baby, Dan's, Hector's and Goodbye Horses. The Regent's Canal lies just beyond and is home to Towpath and the highly regarded Japanese café Toconoco. The canal path provides easy access to the rest of London, including the shops, galleries and restaurants of Shoreditch. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>For entertainment, Dalston’s arts venues, including Arcola Theatre, are within walking distance to the east. To the west, Union Chapel serves as both and a community hub and working church, hosting a regular programme of comedy and music events. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>New River Walk is approximately a 10-minute walk from the apartment, a tranquil man-made waterway with mature trees and benches. Highbury Fields has large areas of open green space, alongside tennis courts, a playground and a swimming pool. The historic De Beauvoir Square, with its beautiful rose garden, is also close by. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>Overground stations at Canonbury and Dalston Junction are approximately a 13- and 19-minute walk away respectively, while Underground services from Highbury & Islington are only slightly further afield. Essex Road station is around seven minutes away on foot, with regular services to Moorgate taking about six minutes. Excellent bus routes into central London and Hackney are also nearby. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>Tenure: Share of Freehold | Service Charge: Approx £4,318 P/A | Ground Rent: N/A | Council Tax Band: E
