A well-proportioned three-bedroom semi‑detached house arranged over four floors in the Arlington Conservation Area. The house retains many original Victorian features — high ceilings, decorative cornicing, sash windows, original ceiling rose and polished timber floors — combined with practical updates such as double glazing and a mains gas boiler. The raised ground floor provides a bright dining room with a marble fireplace; lower ground offers a spacious double reception with wood-burning stove and direct access to a larger-than-average secluded garden with street access.
Accommodation works well for family living or flexible home-working: two generous double bedrooms on the first floor, a further bedroom/study on the top floor and potential to convert the loft (STPP) to add more space. The secure courtyard entrance offers useful external storage and bike parking. Transport connections and local amenities are excellent, with Upper Street, Islington Green, Broadway Market and multiple bus and rail routes all within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note the house sits on solid brick walls typical of its 1840 construction and is assumed to have no wall insulation, so heating efficiency may be lower than modern builds. The plot is relatively small and outdoor space is low‑maintenance rather than expansive. Council tax is described as quite expensive and any purchaser should allow budget for ongoing maintenance associated with a period property.
Overall this is a characterful, centrally located family home that balances original period charm with practical modern updates. It will suit buyers wanting a conservation-area residence near central amenities and who are comfortable managing period maintenance or pursuing sensitive improvements such as a loft conversion to increase living space.
