This three-bedroom terraced house situated on Elthorne Road in Islington, London, presents a mixed bag of characteristics. The property benefits from a location in a desirable part of London, with reasonably convenient access to public transportation (Upper Holloway Overground station) and several well-regarded primary schools within walking distance, particularly Yerbury Primary, which holds an ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted rating. This is a definite plus for families. The inclusion of a rear garden adds value, although its size and current state suggests potential for improvement.

Inside, the property shows a blend of modernized and less modern features. The kitchen and bathroom look relatively updated, offering a practical living space. However, other areas, particularly some of the bedrooms and hallways, present features that could be considered outdated or in need of some cosmetic work and updates. The presence of original features might appeal to some buyers whilst others may view these as requiring modernization.

The overall condition could be better described as ‘liveable’ rather than ‘immaculately presented’. Some areas could benefit from updates, influencing the potential return on investment and the buyer’s willingness to take on renovation projects. While the £975,000 asking price is probably within the expected range for a three-bedroom house in Islington, a comprehensive price comparison against truly comparable properties in the immediate vicinity would offer a more definitive assessment of its value for money. This would require a review of other three-bedroom terraced houses with similar square footage and garden space in the same neighbourhood to properly ascertain this.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
