A compact Victorian terraced house offering 700 sq ft of well-presented living space in a quiet Islington street. The house has two double bedrooms, a finished bathroom, a ground-floor WC and a large living room that opens onto a private west-facing garden — a rare outdoor space for the area. A private garage and off-street parking add secure vehicle storage in a zone where on-street space is limited.
The location will suit buyers who want excellent transport links and local amenities on their doorstep: Highbury station is a short walk, with shops, cafés and schools close by. The property’s period façade, high ceilings and some retained character combine with practical modern updates inside to deliver an attractive urban home with immediate move-in potential.
Buyers should note material local factors: the neighbourhood records very high crime levels and the wider area is relatively deprived, which may affect resale or rental returns. The plot and garden are small, and council tax is above average. The building dates from the late 20th century renovation of the terrace and has secondary glazing and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators.
This freehold mid-terrace suits a range of purchasers — young families seeking good local schools, professionals wanting a commuter-friendly base, or small-scale investors looking for a period property with strong local demand. The house is ready to occupy but also offers straightforward scope for cosmetic improvement to increase value.
