We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Tucked away on a quiet residential turning in the heart of Islington, this well-proportioned split-level apartment offers over 800 sq ft of internal space, a private balcony, and a layout that feels more akin to a house than a conventional flat.
Arranged across the second and third floors, the apartment unfolds with a clear sense of separation between living and sleeping spaces — a format that is increasingly hard to find locally and highly desirable for both owner-occupiers and long-term investors.
The main living level is centred around a generous open-plan reception, dining and kitchen space extending to nearly 23 ft in width.
Natural light flows through the room, while direct access to a private balcony introduces an outdoor element and open outlook across the surrounding architecture.
The kitchen is well configured and functional, with scope for cosmetic enhancement over time, allowing an incoming purchaser to tailor the space to their own design preferences.
Upstairs, two well-proportioned double bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, both benefiting from built-in storage.
The principal bedroom in particular offers excellent scale at over 16 ft in width. A family bathroom serves this level, alongside additional storage integrated into the hallway.
The apartment is presented in good, clean condition throughout, yet offers clear opportunity for a considered refurbishment — whether that be a kitchen upgrade, bathroom renewal, or a more design-led reimagining of the interiors.
Importantly, the fundamentals are already in place: strong proportions, excellent natural light, and a layout that works.
Eckford Street is a quiet, low-traffic residential street positioned moments from the energy of Upper Street, Essex Road and Angel.
The location offers immediate access to a wide range of independent cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities, while remaining distinctly calm and residential in character.
Angel Underground (Northern Line) and Essex Road (National Rail) are both within easy reach, providing excellent connectivity across London.
