Set across one level, this rare lateral garden flat offers the space of a house with a private, west-facing garden and flexible five-bedroom layouts — ideal for growing families or multi-occupancy use. At 1,776 sq ft the accommodation feels generous for Highbury, with two bathrooms, a separate kitchen and room to create studies or play areas while remaining all on one floor.
Positioned on a quiet, tree-lined stretch of Highbury New Park close to Highbury Fields, Upper Street and Canonbury/Highbury & Islington transport links, the location balances leafy calm with excellent local amenities. Off-street parking is provided (one driveway space demised to the flat) and the flat is being offered with a new long lease which will be granted on sale.
There are practical issues to note: the building dates from early 20th century with solid brick walls and assumed lack of cavity insulation, which could mean higher heating costs and potential retrofit work. The property is leasehold — specific lease length, service charges and ground rent details are not provided and should be checked. With five bedrooms but only two bathrooms, some buyers may want to reconfigure plumbing to suit modern family living.
This home will suit buyers who prize space and outdoor privacy in an enviable Highbury location and who are prepared to carry out sympathetic upgrading where desired. The combination of lateral living, a full-width private garden and close proximity to top local schools and green spaces offers clear long-term appeal.
