FOR SALE BY ONLINE AUCTION. Starting Bids £1,250,000. Terms and Conditions apply.

A superb, rarely available nineteenth century property in this fashionable, sought after area of North London - Halliford Street in Islington - a quiet residential street close to Essex Road and only a fifteen minute walk from two underground stations. This three storey home has been in the same family (and been loved by the same family) for generations, tracing back over a century - through the Depression, the Blitz, the Swinging Sixties... Imagine the stories this property can tell, about the London it has inhabited, and about the city that has developed around it. The property is now being sold at auction, representing an amazing opportunity for owner-occupier buyers to claim a piece of history to make their own in this desirable part of town - or, alternatively, it offers scope to split and develop into flats... subject to relevant permissions, of course - but hardly something that has not been done over and over again in this area. A fantastic find, and well worth a visit to view for yourselves...

The Accommodation:

Steps lead up to the handsome front door, which opens into a welcoming entrance hallway with stairs leading up to the top floor, as well as down to the basement. The main living space is situated to the right of the hallway - a high-ceilinged front room with sash window, feature fireplace and wooden floor, and opening through to the fitted Kitchen which offers a range of fitted units and worktop including island unit.

There is a half landing on the stairway down, from which there is a WC and wash basin, as well as door out to steps that lead down to the rear garden.

In the Basement Level there are two Double Bedrooms, both of which benefit from built in wardrobes, and one of which features an open en-suite into the Bedroom, with shower cubicle, wc and basin. There is an external door to the rear garden - and indeed, this room could therefore be repurposed to provide a fantastic Day Room accessing the garden, instead of Bedroom, if preferred. The front basement bedroom benefits from further built in storage as well as the fitted wardrobes; a long cupboard - over 5 metres long - provides really useful storage but also has door to the front garden and could therefore provide access from street to a basement flat, for example, if separate accommodation were on the agenda. Also in the basement level, there is a family Bathroom, with bath and shower over, wc and wash basin.

Elsewhere in the property, the top floor offers two further Double Bedrooms - the largest of which, spanning around 5.3 metres, the width of the house, and featuring two sash windows and fireplace, is currently being used as a main Living Room. The last bedroom, being another double, features built in wardrobe and has the benefit of an en-suite Sower Room, with shower cubicle, wc and wash basin.

The property benefits from front garden, but in particular boasts a lovely, sunny south facing rear garden, with patio area, planted beds and borders and garden shed, and is enclosed by fencing.

Gas Central Heating to radiators (wet system).
