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
One of the very few rare opportunities left to have a complete house in the Highbury N5 area, just a four minute walk from the ever popular Highbury Fields park and green zone of Islington.
This property is a developers dream, for those looking to upsize and take on a project that they can make their own, or refurbish as two independent units.
The property was formerly a family home, which was historically divided into two units, leaving a one bedroom garden flat on the ground floor and a three bedroom split level maisonette on the upper two floors.
The current arrangement has two bathrooms and two kitchens.
The current layout can be upgraded as it is, or the house can be completely returned to its former glory, with the owners advising that the original bannisters are hiding behind the partition walls for the divide.
Perhaps you are looking for a future rental investment in a sought after location, with great transport links?
This house is very close to two underground stations (Highbury and Islington, and Holloway Road) not to mention, the Drayton Park overground station and a wealth of bus routes that connect into the city and west end.
The property is offered chain free. Viewings by appointment only.
