Description

A bright and beautifully presented three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment set on the fourth floor of the sought-after Eclipse Building, an impressive former industrial building located just a stone’s throw from Upper Street and Highbury & Islington station.

Offering approximately 943 sq ft of stylish and well-proportioned accommodation, the property benefits from a share of the freehold, excellent natural light and a superb open-plan living space with a distinct New York loft-inspired feel, enhanced by the large industrial-style windows and the building’s warehouse character, all within one of Islington’s most convenient and desirable locations.

Positioned on the fourth floor of the Eclipse Building, this exceptionally well-presented apartment offers approximately 943 sq ft of thoughtfully arranged accommodation.

The centrepiece of the home is the generous open-plan reception, dining room and kitchen, extending to over 25 feet and providing an excellent space for both everyday living and entertaining. Large industrial-style windows allow an abundance of natural light into the room and complement the building’s distinctive warehouse character. The modern fitted kitchen offers ample cabinetry and worktop space, while the bathrooms were newly fitted in 2025.

The Eclipse Building is an attractive and well-maintained development, combining a handsome brick façade with large Crittall-style windows and a secure communal entrance. The exterior underwent a major programme of redecoration in 2026, further enhancing the appearance and upkeep of the building. The property is offered with a share of the freehold, an underlying lease of approximately 100 years, lift access and resident parking.

The property is also well positioned for a wide selection of highly regarded primary and secondary schools, including St Mary Magdalene Academy.

Laycock Street is superbly positioned just off Upper Street, placing an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, bars and venues within easy reach, while Highbury Fields offers nearby green space, leisure facilities and tennis courts.

About Hotblack Desiato, Highbury

2 Highbury Park, London, N5 2AB
Industry affiliations:

Hotblack Desiato have been in operation for over 40 years. Our first office was in Upper Street (N1) in Islington, and over the years, we've grown to accommodate the needs of our clients.

After the success of our first office, we opened a second in Camden (NW1). This meant we could help homebuyers, sellers and tenants in areas like Primrose Hill, Regent's Park, Hampstead, Euston, Kentish Town and Tufnell Park. Finally, we expanded our company to Highbury Park (N5), offering property services in Finsbury Park, Highbury, Stroud Green and Lower Holloway.

Now, we're proud to say that we cover almost every area in Zone 2 that's north of the river and east of Edgware Road - and our team continue to enjoy working with clients from a variety of different areas, with diverse requirements. Our company name often raises a smile, thanks to Douglas Adams using it in his cult novel, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Indeed, we take pride in providing an 'out of this world' estate agency experience, and have always striven not just to meet, but exceed expectations.
