Penthouse at City Approach, Islington, EC1V

This stunning seventh-floor penthouse sits atop a beautiful Edwardian building, offering nearly 1,700 square feet of luxurious living space with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and breathtaking panoramic city views. Combining historical charm with modern elegance, this home is a rare find in the heart of London.

Designed by Falconer Chester Hall Architects, the mansard-style roof extension blends harmoniously with the character of the historical Edwardian building.

Setting itself apart from neighbouring new builds, this extension achieves a unique balance of elegance and functionality, respecting the building’s storied past while offering modern sophistication.

Accessed via the sixth floor, a minimalist, sleek staircase leads to a welcoming, natural light-filled hallway featuring a storage cabinet and a full-size bathroom. Further down, you will find two large bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms on either side, both suitable as principal suites. A third bedroom and a utility room with separate washer and dryer units are found at the end of the hallway before entering the living area. All bedrooms provide direct access to two expansive balconies that surround the flat, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living spaces.

At the heart of the penthouse is a spacious, open-plan living area bathed with natural light from its floor-to-ceiling windows with dual north and south-facing aspects. The sleek, L-shaped kitchen, fitted with integrated appliances, is cleverly positioned in one corner to maximise entertaining space. Custom joinery adds stylish functionality, offering ample storage while also accommodating entertainment systems.
