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
Set to the rear of the building and overlooking a beautifully maintained communal garden with a tranquil pond, the property feels calm, private and almost hidden, a true contrast to the vibrant energy of the surrounding area.
Internally, the home has been thoughtfully reimagined and architecturally renovated by its current owner, resulting in a space that is both highly functional and visually striking.
Clean lines, considered materials and bespoke detailing run throughout, with a high-spec kitchen and refined finishes that give the property a polished, contemporary feel.
The layout offers a seamless flow of space, ideal for modern living, while large openings frame views of the garden and draw in natural light, enhancing the sense of openness and connection to the outdoors.
Despite its peaceful setting, the property is exceptionally well located.
Highbury Fields is just moments away, offering one of London's most beautiful green spaces, while Highbury & Islington station is approximately a 7-8 minute walk, providing swift access via the Victoria Line and National Rail connections.
The surrounding streets are home to an array of independent cafés, restaurants and local favourites along Upper Street and Highbury Barn.
Zero ground rent and 999 years on lease Offered to the market at £445,000, this is a rare and characterful home and ideal for buyers seeking something design-led, quietly positioned, and genuinely different from the norm.
