A beautiful top-floor apartment in a period school conversion within a secure, modern development designed by Piers Gough. The first thing you notice upon entry is the impressive ceiling height and the abundance of natural light pouring through a series of south-east facing windows.
The generous open-plan living space flows seamlessly, incorporating a fully fitted kitchen and providing ample room for comfortable dining, lounging, and work areas. The double bedroom, the only carpeted room, easily accommodates a double bed along with all the furnishings you would expect.
The apartment spans approximately 601 square feet (56 square metres), thoughtfully designed to maximize space and allow for generously proportioned rooms, with no wasted areas.
At the opposite end of the hallway, you’ll find a spacious bathroom, complete with a bath and overhead shower. Adjacent to the bathroom, a double-fronted utility cupboard reveals convenient space for your washing machine, along with plenty of additional storage.
With double glazing and gas central heating, the apartment stays warm and cosy in winter. In the summer, the series of windows can be fully opened to let fresh air circulate, keeping the space cool and airy.
Mount Carmel Court is a private oasis in the heart of the vibrant Lower Holloway neighbourhood. It’s almost surprising to realize that Holloway tube station and the Piccadilly Line are just minutes away, offering direct access to King’s Cross, Russell Square, Holborn, and Covent Garden in under 15 minutes. The Victoria Line and Overground at Highbury & Islington, as well as Drayton Park station, are only five minutes away, providing even more options for quick access to central London and beyond.
Local amenities are plentiful, with full-sized supermarkets like Waitrose and Morrisons just a short walk away, along with smaller stores such as Tesco, aldi, and Sainsbury’s. You’ll also find a variety of independent cafes, specialty shops, and restaurants — even a charming model bakery. Upper Street is only a few minutes’ walk away, with even more dining options, boutique shops, and bars to explore.
Highbury Fields, Paradise Park, and Caledonian Park are all beautiful green spaces less than five minutes' walk away, perfect for relaxing and enjoying summer days. Larger parks like Finsbury Park and Clissold Park are also within walking distance, with plenty of space for running, cycling, and outdoor activities.
The development is professionally managed and offers private, landscaped communal gardens, a 24-hour concierge service, lifts, a residents' gym, and secure bike storage in the underground garage. Parking spaces in the secure garage are available for rent or purchase, and residents can also apply for on-street parking permits from Islington Council.
This is a modern, high-quality conversion of a heritage building, with a long lease (230 years) and contemporary, managed-living perks. Perfect for those who appreciate both character and convenience, it offers a secure, low-maintenance lifestyle with easy access to local amenities and a quick commute to central London.
