Owners Insights:

What do you love most about your home?
"I fell in love with this place because of the stunning Victorian windows and high ceilings. The flat is bathed in natural light, yet thanks to the well-insulated front window, street noise is minimal. Waking up to birdsong while overlooking the lush communal garden is a daily joy. If you love hosting summer gatherings, the garden is perfect for barbecues! There's also a wonderful sense of community in the building, with most residents being owner-occupiers who genuinely look out for one another."

Why are you selling?
"I'm only moving because I’m moving in with my partner. Otherwise, I would happily stay here."

What do you love about the area?
"The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Islington. I work in central London and can safely cycle to work in just 20 minutes. The area is a food lover’s paradise, with incredible spots like Lamezia (the best Italian in town, a well-kept local secret) and Provisions, where you have to try the truffle brie! Fortress Road offers top-quality veggie shops, fishmongers, and charming cafés. For everyday essentials, Waitrose and Morrisons on Holloway Road are just around the corner. Transport links are excellent, with Holloway Road Station (Piccadilly Line) and multiple bus routes nearby."
