Set over three well-proportioned levels, this substantial mid-terrace in N1 blends Victorian character with a light-filled Paul Archer kitchen extension. The double reception room retains high ceilings, original joinery and a working fireplace, while full-height doors from the lower-ground extension create a bright, open-plan kitchen/dining space that flows directly onto a private west-facing patio — ideal for evening sun and entertaining.
The accommodation reads flexibly as a two-bedroom home with a versatile additional reception/bedroom on the lower-ground level, each floor served by its own modern shower room. At approximately 1,372 sq ft overall, the house offers generous living space for a city property and benefits from double glazing and mains gas heating via boiler and radiators.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: the property is a freehold and sits on a small plot, with solid brick walls originally built in the 1930s–40s (no added wall insulation assumed). Council tax is described as expensive and the local area scores as deprived in wider indices — factors buyers should weigh alongside the superb location and excellent transport and broadband. There is no flood risk.
This home will suit buyers seeking a substantial Islington house with period charm and contemporary living spaces: families wanting good local schools, professionals who value space and light, or investors targeting strong rental demand near Upper Street and Angel. The well-executed extension reduces the need for immediate structural work, though buyers may wish to consider future insulation upgrades to improve thermal performance and running costs.
