Unique opportunity to purchase a freehold one bedroom house in the heart of Highbury
Property Oracle says ..
This one-bedroom freehold house located on Gillespie Road in Highbury West, Islington, presents a unique opportunity in a desirable part of North London. The property boasts a modern kitchen and bathroom, suggesting recent renovation in these areas. The overall design style is contemporary, though the dated aesthetic of some features might require updating to suit some buyers’ preferences. A notable highlight is the property’s location. Highbury is renowned for its strong community feel, access to excellent schools (several ‘Outstanding’ rated primary schools are within a kilometre), and convenient transport links with Drayton Park overground station within walking distance. The property itself is compact, featuring approximately 427 sqft of internal space, with the absence of a garden a notable drawback. The listed price of £450,000 appears reasonable for a one-bedroom property in this area, although the lack of outdoor space and the property’s relatively small size must be considered. This property is likely to appeal to first-time buyers or investors seeking a centrally located property in a sought-after area. The unique architectural features are likely a draw for some buyers but potentially a deterrent for others.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
