Some words from the owner:

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR HOME?
We love the large open plan space on the upper ground floor level that gets both morning/eastern sunlight and afternoon/western sunlight via the kitchen window. Obviously the enormous garden was also a source of great fun and enjoyment during the spring/summer months.

WHY ARE YOU SELLING?
We bought the house as a couple and, over the ten years we have lived in it, got married and had three children. By the time we had the third we realised we needed a larger space and have now moved into a large house in a nearby location.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT THE AREA?
As described above we stayed very local with the only motivation to move being space for our growing family. We love that this flat sits equidistant between four neighbourhoods: Highbury, Stoke Newington, Canonbury and Upper Street/Essex Road. We often went to Newington Green to enjoy the green grocer, cheese monger and various cafes as well as unique restaurants around the green. We go for walks around the quiet roads in Canonbury and especially the New River Walk. Likewise, we spend a lot of time around Upper Street and Essex Road enjoying the nightlife and various unique retail offerings. Specifically on Harecourt Road we have enjoyed the fact that it is a quiet road with friendly neighbours with whom we've made friends over the years (and still see a few!).
