A substantial Georgian terraced house arranged over five floors, this rare six-bedroom property overlooks Highbury Fields and offers over 4,300 sq ft of family-focused living. The raised ground reception is bright with high ceilings and dark wooden floors; a large lower-ground kitchen/dining space opens directly to a mature, landscaped garden — ideal for indoor/outdoor entertaining and family life. The principal bedroom on the first floor includes a generous walk-in wardrobe and en-suite, complemented by four further double bedrooms and additional bathrooms across the upper floors.
The home is Grade II listed, so its handsome period features are protected and part of its appeal. That listed status will also restrict alterations and may complicate refurbishment plans. The building has solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) and double glazing installed before 2002, so buyers should budget for energy-efficiency upgrades. The EPC is rated D.
Practical considerations are straightforward: freehold tenure, mains gas boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and no local flood risk. The property sits in an inner-city, highly educated area with excellent transport at Highbury Corner (Victoria Line, London Overground, National Rail) and close access to Upper Street’s shops, restaurants and amenities.
Drawbacks to weigh alongside the many strengths include a very expensive council tax banding, the area’s relatively high crime level, and the likely cost and planning constraints of updating a listed building. For buyers seeking a grand family home with significant entertaining space, garden and period charm — and who are comfortable managing listed-building responsibilities — this house represents a distinctive opportunity on one of Highbury’s finest streets.
