A rare, detached Grade II listed Victorian house in Highbury New Park, offered for the first time in 67 years. With c.5,647 sq ft of internal space, three garages and a gated carriage driveway, this property delivers exceptional scale and a private, commanding position close to Highbury Fields and Upper Street.
The ground and first floors retain strong period character — original stairwell, ornate coving, large bay windows and high ceilings — and a substantial rear garden (c.71 x 129 ft) creates an unexpected Central London leisure space with room for a pool or tennis court (STPP). The lower level currently functions as a self‑contained guest unit with separate access, useful for extended family or rental income.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict and complicate alterations and may add cost and delay to any refurbishment or extension plans. The building is of solid brick construction with no assumed insulation, and the accommodation requires modernization in places. Council tax is very expensive and there are only three bathrooms serving eight bedrooms, which is likely to need upgrading for contemporary family use.
This is a project for buyers seeking a flagship family home in a premium Islington location — one that offers rare scale, privacy and the scope to create a standout property, provided they accept the constraints and costs of listed‑status renovation.
