1 Bed Flat, Hillmarton Road, N7

ALL VIEWINGS SATURDAY 14.09.24

This beautiful one bedroom apartment with separate study/office has just been refurbished and decorated throughout and is available from 1st October 2024. It is on a leafy tree-lined street in the Central London Borough of Islington. A Victorian conversion (the walls are two feet thick), the apartment has its own front door which opens out onto a gravel front garden, and has access to a huge shared garden at the back of the house.
The flat is less than five minutes' walk to CALEDONIAN ROAD tube on the Piccadilly Line that takes you straight to the centre of London in eight minutes. There is also a bus stop right outside, serving buses 17, 259, 393, 91 and N91. 

About the apartment:
The apartment has wooden laminate flooring throughout and is really quiet and cosy. The thick walls mean the apartment never gets really cold in winter or really hot in summer. It has central heating throughout, and has a fully serviced gas boiler, installed in 2016.
The apartment has one double bedroom, a separate study/office (previously used as a second double bedroom), living room, kitchen, and bathroom.
Bedroom: The double bedroom has a window to the front garden and a pair of high cupboards.
Study/Office: Snug second room with no window. Previous tenants have used this as a second double bedroom. 2 big cupboards with plenty of storage space
Living room: The living room also has a window to the front garden and has more cupboard space including a large TV unit. 
Kitchen: The kitchen is small but has lots of cupboard space, a microwave, gas range cooker and the gas boiler.
Bathroom: Bath with shower, heated mirror and lots of shelf space.

About the neighbourhood:
The apartment is on Hillmarton Road in the Hillmarton Conservation Area. It's quiet despite being in Central London and very convenient for commuting. There are three supermarkets next to Caledonian Road station (4 min walk), one is open 24 hours, and a shopping centre and two larger supermarkets on Holloway Road (10 min walk).
There's a friendly bar and theatre (Pleasance - 5 min walk), the Arsenal Emirates Stadium (15 min walk), several nearby parks and Camden Town is a 20 minute walk away along the Regent's Canal.
The local tube station is Caledonian Road, and the bustling shops and weekend market are a 5 minute walk away. Pleasance Theatre shows comedy and theatre all year around, and there are plenty of shops and cafés in the area. Kings Cross St Pancras and the international Eurostar terminal at St Pancras are an 8-10 minute bus journey or 4 minute tube journey away.
Upper Street is roughly 20 mins walk away and is home to many bars, theatres, cafes, and shops. In the opposite direction, Holloway Road has two larger supermarkets - Waitrose and Morrisons, as well as some smaller supermarkets and lots of shops and markets. It's about 10 mins walk from the apartment, and every bus from the bus stop outside goes straight there.

Getting around:
The nearest tube station is Caledonian Road, which is on the Piccadilly Line. From there it takes 4 minutes to get to Kings Cross St Pancras, 8 minutes to Covent Garden and 9 minutes to Leicester Square.

Happy to rent to smokers as long as any smoking happens outside the flat, not inside.
