Laycock Street, Transenna Works, N1

This beautifully bright and generously proportioned one-bedroom apartment is set on the second floor of Transenna Works, a small and sought-after development tucked away on Laycock Street, N1. Offering an abundance of natural light from its dual-aspect windows, this is a home that instantly lifts the spirit.

The open-plan kitchen/reception room is the heart of the property—designed for both comfort and functionality—with a stylish kitchen island and expansive windows on both sides that flood the space with sunshine throughout the day. Off the bedroom, you'll find a rare and valuable bonus for central London living: a west-facing private balcony, offering a peaceful escape from the city's buzz.

The property also benefits from a contemporary family bathroom and is offered chain free, making it an ideal investment, first-time purchase or elegant pied-à-terre.

Location Highlights:
Located just moments from Highbury & Islington station (Victoria Line, Overground, and National Rail), this apartment is superbly connected, with Upper Street just around the corner offering a wide array of independent shops, cafes, restaurants and local amenities. Barnsbury’s charming pubs and leafy streets are also within easy walking distance.

Owners insights:

The sunshine flooding through the large windows in the living room made us fall in love with the property as soon as we walked in.
Having a balcony is a rare privilege in central London (a real saviour during lockdown!) – our retreat away from the hustle and bustle.
Location, location, location – a minute from the tube and a minute from some excellent restaurants on Upper St."

Why We’re Selling:

It was our first home and we rented it out when we moved abroad. When we came back to the UK, we had kids and needed to move out of London and bought a house. We rented the flat for a while and we are now selling as our long-term tenant is leaving."

What We Love About the Area:

The area fantastic transport links, offering plenty of options like Highbury & Islington and Angel stations—and on sunny mornings, I even enjoy walking to the City. Wine tasting at The Sampler is always a highlight, often followed the next morning by a freshly squeezed detox Zinger juice from Ginger and Lime. We also love strolling down to the Almeida Theatre to grab a last-minute ticket for a midweek performance. And one of the most special routines is walking to the Emirates Stadium with my elderly, Arsenal-loving father-in-law.
