Owners insights:

What do you love about your home?

The apartment has a really good layout with no wasted space and excellent storage. I wanted something modern, low maintenance and with outdoor space, and this place offers all of that. The balcony is a big plus because it can be used year round, and with access from both the living room and bedroom it also helps keep the flat bright and airy with good airflow.

Wharf Road is generally quiet so it feels peaceful day to day, and being next to City Road Basin is a real bonus. It is a great spot to sit with a morning coffee or just switch off by the water.

Why are you moving?

I am relocating to another part of London with my partner.

What do you love about the area?

It is a brilliant area to live in because everything is within easy reach. Angel, Old Street, Shoreditch and Clerkenwell are all walkable, and Upper Street and Essex Road have loads of amenities, with plenty of restaurants, pubs and shops.

There are lots of great pubs nearby, but The Earl of Essex and The William IV are two favourites for an after work drink. Having the canal on the doorstep is another highlight as it is great for weekend walks, and we often walk along it to King’s Cross and Camden. Exmouth Market is also close, around 20 minutes on foot or under 10 minutes by bike, and is a great option for food.
