Greenhills Terrace, London N1

This bright one-bedroom flat occupies a quiet position within the RIBA award-winning Dover Court Estate in Islington. Clean lines and generous glazing lend a sense of airiness to the overall plan. Set among immaculate communal gardens, the building lies in a sought-after position between Essex Road and De Beauvoir Town, within easy walking distance of Regent’s Canal.



The Tour



The apartment is reached via a short staircase leading to a private front door. Inside, a long corridor with plentiful built-in storage unfolds into a welcoming open-plan kitchen, living and dining space. Wide-panelled windows stretch across the exterior wall, filling the room with light.



Smart white cabinetry wraps around the kitchen, with walls lined in a metro-tiled splashback. Appliances include an oven with a gas hob and an integrated dishwasher.



The bedroom is finished in a soft green hue and has full-height fitted storage with sliding doors. A broad window overlooks the leafy communal gardens beyond. The adjacent bathroom has a bathtub and large-format white tiles.



The Area



The apartment is conveniently positioned for the pubs, restaurants, shops and cafés of Dalston, De Beauvoir and Islington. The Scolt Head and The De Beauvoir Arms are both excellent and close to the apartment. De Beauvoir Deli is also a few minutes’ walk away and is a firm local favourite, offering locally sourced produce alongside seasonal fruit and vegetables, sandwiches and salads. Sweet Thursday offers Neapolitan-style pizza with craft beers and wine.



Other excellent local spots include Batch Baby, Dan's, Hector's and Goodbye Horses. The Regent's Canal lies just beyond and is home to Towpath and the highly regarded Japanese café Toconoco. The canal path provides easy access to the rest of London, including the shops, galleries and restaurants of Shoreditch.



For entertainment, Dalston’s arts venues, including Arcola Theatre, are within walking distance to the east. To the west, Union Chapel serves as both and a community hub and working church, hosting a regular programme of comedy and music events.



New River Walk is approximately an 8-minute walk from the apartment, a tranquil man-made waterway with mature trees and benches. Highbury Fields has large areas of open green space, alongside tennis courts, a playground and a swimming pool. The historic De Beauvoir Square, with its beautiful rose garden, is also close by.



Overground stations at Canonbury and Dalston Junction are approximately a 10- and 11-minute walk away respectively, while Underground services from Highbury & Islington are only slightly further afield. Essex Road station is around 10 minutes away on foot, with regular services to Moorgate taking about six minutes. Excellent bus routes into central London and Hackney are also nearby.
