Arundel Grove, Islington, London, N16

The standout is the bright, freehold end-of-terrace setup: broad garden-facing glazing, a private rear garden and a useful outbuilding give this Newington Green-area house plenty of character and practical appeal. It is already broadly usable, so the light project is about adding your own finish—most notably refinishing the worn painted bedroom floorboards and tidying the garden—with the listing also suggesting a possible rear extension or garden room subject to consents.

At £780,000, the asking price is about 3.3% above the local average per square foot, so value is limited rather than a clear bargain. With the modest refurb allowance, all-in costs still look tight against local benchmarks; the appeal is more in the unusual freehold, outside space and scope to personalise than in an obvious discount.
