Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This home really impressed us with its convenience, functionality and attention to detail. We found the home to be spotlessly clean – freshly painted walls and a refurbished interior means there wasn't any wear and tear to note. The furnished patio at the back of the home was an added bonus, the French doors adding light and space to the room. Overall it will suit a variety of guests – families can enjoy the proximity to Highbury Fields and business travellers will benefit from a six-minute walk to the station and a smart desk in the home.

Home truths
The fifth guest will sleep on a sofa bed in the living room
The master bedroom looks directly onto the street but there are blinds for privacy – frosting is also soon to be added to the lower windows
Some street noise can be heard in the master bedroom when the windows are open
This is a purpose-built home, so it won't have the same quirks as a lived-in space

Local guide
About Islington
Tree-lined terraces of very enviable Georgian townhouses, amazing restaurants, coffeeshops, and gastropubs, it's not hard to see why Islington is so popular with affluent media types. It's very well connected (ten minutes on the Victoria Line to Oxford Circus) and it's got a wonderfully residential feel - almost totally tourist free for some strange reason. Have a roast lunch at the Drapers Arms on a weekend and you'll quickly realise what makes Islington living so sought-after.
