Set within a striking historic building on sought-after Balls Pond Road—immortalised in the book The Story of the Exploding Galaxy
Set within a striking historic building on sought-after Balls Pond Road—immortalised in the book The Story of the Exploding Galaxy—this beautifully arranged split-level basement flat offers a home that is as rich in narrative as it is in character. Spanning approximately 850 sq ft, the property invites you to live within a piece of local history, where every corner feels part of a larger story waiting to be continued.
Arranged over two levels, the flat unfolds with a sense of discovery, echoing the drama and intrigue of its literary connection. It features two well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, perfectly balancing comfort and practicality for modern living.
The heart of the home is a warm and inviting living space, ideal for both quiet evenings and lively gatherings, flowing effortlessly into the kitchen. To the rear, a private garden offers a tranquil retreat—your own peaceful “universe” away from the energy of the city—while the outbuilding provides a versatile space, perfect as a studio, workspace, or creative hideaway.
Perfectly positioned for city living, the property also benefits from excellent transport links. A range of nearby bus routes provide quick and easy access across London, while Highbury & Islington station (Victoria Line and Overground) and Angel station (Northern Line) are both within easy reach, offering swift connections into the City, the West End, and beyond.
Beyond the doorstep, the vibrant neighbourhood offers an array of popular destinations to explore. The independent shops, cafés, and restaurants of Upper Street are just a short stroll away, while the green open spaces of Highbury Fields provide a welcome escape. Cultural highlights such as Almeida Theatre and Union Chapel add to the area’s creative energy, making this a location that perfectly complements the property’s rich character and sense of story.
Blending historic significance, imaginative storytelling, and everyday functionality, this is a truly unique home—one that offers not just a place to live, but a story to be part of.

Islington’s rise has been driven in no small part by its central location making it ideal for a quick commute to the City, Mid Town and the West End. Angel tube to the south is on the Northern line. Highbury and Islington tube at the northern end of Upper Street is on the Victoria line and Caledonian tube to the west is on the Piccadilly line.
One of the capital’s best antique and vintage markets is in Islington at Camden Passage. Here you can browse an eclectic array of antique furniture and vintage clothing then watch the world go by in one of the cafés.
Overground stations to the east at Dalston, Haggerston, Hoxton and Shoreditch have been something of a game changer for the eastern end of N1 connecting to the south and Docklands.
