Owners insights:

What do you love about your home?
Having some private outside space was really important to us, and the patio has been perfect for enjoying a coffee in the morning, summer BBQs and a bit of low-maintenance greenery. We were also immediately drawn to the freehold tenure and the convenience of off-street parking, as we wanted to avoid leasehold costs and service charges. The layout has worked brilliantly for us: we used the second double bedroom as an additional reception space with a lovely outlook towards the gardens at the front, while the smaller room has been ideal as a child’s bedroom and could equally work well as a study.

Why are you selling?
We’re moving to be closer to family.

What do you love about the area?
Finsbury Park has a vibrant, eclectic feel with a great balance of characterful streets, local amenities and green space. Despite being so well connected, Parkside Crescent itself is a quiet, family-friendly cul-de-sac with a real sense of community. We’ve made close friends with neighbours here, including some we expect to remain lifelong friends. There’s a local email group that keeps residents connected and shares information about events and the community allotment on Parkside Crescent, and the nursery directly opposite is a huge plus for families. Having Isledon Gardens so close by is fantastic for day-to-day life, and you’re also within easy reach of cafés and independent shops, as well as excellent transport links and bus routes into Central and North London from Finsbury Park.
