*Chain Free*<br/><br/>A one-bedroom garden apartment offering a rare balance of architectural character, with light flowing throughout this contemporary living space. Positioned on the ground floor of the L’Ecole Building extension, a distinguished, gated school development, with the addition of a private, sunny, wrap-around L-shaped garden. The apartment is at the centre of the thriving Holloway district, not far from Highbury Fields and Finsbury Park. <br/><br/>Entry to the apartment is directly from a communal courtyard, a space between the former Victorian School and the striking modern extension and then, in turn, to the garden. <br/><br/>Walking directly into a generous living space, the area is subtly divided into the reception and kitchen, with large-format glazing to create a calm, open space that connects seamlessly with the garden beyond, and extends the living area, bringing in a softness and rhythm to the home throughout the seasons.<br/><br/>The kitchen is integrated and understated, designed with both functionality and flow in mind, sitting comfortably within the open-plan arrangement.<br/>The bedroom is quietly positioned, offering a sense of separation and retreat. Completing this apartment is a wetroom-style bathroom, with underfloor heating finished in a clean, contemporary approach. The overall composition of the apartment feels intentional and well-resolved, balancing openness with privacy.<br/><br/>The private garden 20*15 ft, is a key feature, a rare inclusion within a building of this nature, providing an alluring outdoor space for both everyday use and more relaxed moments.<br/><br/>The L’Ecole Building itself is known for its strong sense of community and security, which resonates with a communal garden at the centre of the modern extension. Despite its central location, it retains a composed and peaceful atmosphere.<br/><br/>Holloway Road’s Piccadilly Line, Highbury & Islington's Victoria -Overground and Drayton Park’s Overground stations are all within a short walk, offering direct connections across London. The surrounding neighbourhood carries an established, quietly confident energy, where long-standing institutions sit comfortably alongside a newer wave of independent restaurants and cafés.<br/><br/>Local favourites such as Provisions, Zia Lucia and Berto are all within easy reach. At the same time, Westerns Laundry has become something of a destination in its own right, drawing visitors from across the city. Closer to Drayton Park, the offering remains equally considered — from the much-loved Xi’an Impression to neighbourhood staples such as Iznik, Oi Vita,the Highbury Library wine bar, and Waitrose. <br/><br/>A short walk leads to Highbury Barn, where a more village-like rhythm emerges, centred around independent delis, wine shops and the ever-popular Highbury Barn pub. Beyond lies Highbury Fields, a green expansive space with a natural route towards Upper Street, and its broader mix of independent shops, bars and restaurants, as well as many well know highs street chains. <br/><br/>*Please note that payment for related EWS1 works has already been made by the current owners.
