This one-bedroom flat sits on the second floor of the former Carmelite Convent, a Victorian building converted into private apartments in 2005. It’s now part of Vizion7, a secure gated development with 24-hour concierge, a residents’ gym and landscaped communal gardens. Inside, the original charm of the building remains intact, from the lofty pitched ceilings and casement windows to the column radiators.
The home has a strong sense of character, without sacrificing the things that make everyday life work. The open-plan living room and kitchen has plenty of space for a dining table, with the fitted kitchen taking up one end, and the rest left open for interpretation. There's a good-size double, a bathroom complete with bathtub, and a handy utility room tucked into the hall.
Transport links are hard to beat, with Holloway Road and Highbury & Islington both within easy reach, putting the Piccadilly and Victoria lines, Overground and National Rail services close by. Beyond the stations, Holloway and Highbury bring plenty of independent cafés, restaurants and pubs, with Highbury Fields nearby, and cycle routes making the wider neighbourhood easy to explore.
The owner says
I’ve owned this flat for 12 years and it’s been a big part of my life in London. One of the best things about living here has been the sense of community in the building - there’s a really friendly and supportive mix of neighbours, and many of the owners know each other well.
After more than a decade here, i’m ready for a change of pace and a little more tranquility, outside London. I’ve loved living in this area, and this flat, and I hope that the next owner enjoys their time here as much as I have.

The legal bit
While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details. Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others. Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances.
