3 Bed Terraced House, Legard Road, N5

This lovely double fronted Victorian house in Legard Road, one of Highbury’s most sought after and leafy streets, has recently been completely renovated, redecorated and refurbished. 

Two of London’s best state primary schools  - St John’s (C of E) and St Joan of Arc (RC) - are within a few minutes walking distance, as are the Piccadilly Line, the Victoria Line, Network Rail and London Overground lines at Arsenal, Highbury and Islington, and Drayton Park stations. The no 19, 4, 236 buses also run close by in Highbury Grove. Islington resident’s car parking space is locally available for council taxpayers in Legard Road.

The house is unusual for the area in having three full-size double bedrooms, an open plan double bay window lounge and dining area, and a substantial, well-planted back garden which has new decking as well as a decent sized lawn. The recent refit includes brand new cherrywood flooring, underfloor heating in the beautifully appointed kitchen and bathroom, brand new carpeting, brand new fitted granite top kitchen units and the latest high spec kitchen and bathroom fittings and equipment.
 
Newly fitted central heating runs throughout the house, and there is a particularly sunny balcony leading off the first floor master bedroom. All the benefits of Highbury Barn and its excellent shopping, including La Fromagerie, Highbury Wines and Frank Godfrey’s the butchers, are a quiet stroll away.  There are great local restaurants too, and the wide variety of Finsbury Park, Stoke Newington and Islington is within easy reach. Most of the local residents are young professionals with children, and there is a particular friendliness and real sense of community. A beautiful, compact house, in a tree-lined quiet street.
