Summary - Highbury Place, London, N5 N5 1QP
5 bed 5 bath Terraced
Large period home with garden and flexible five‑bedroom layout.
Triple-fronted Georgian townhouse overlooking Highbury Fields
A rare triple-fronted Georgian townhouse directly overlooking Highbury Fields, this substantial freehold home extends to approximately 3,808 sq ft across five floors. The house retains many original period details — high ceilings, sash windows, ornate cornices and fireplaces — and offers formal reception rooms, a library and a principal bedroom suite, all with generous proportions and abundant natural light.
The layout is highly versatile for family living: a double-aspect drawing room and dining room on the ground floor, a large kitchen opening to a secluded rear garden, and extensive bedroom accommodation across the upper floors. Lower-ground rooms could be used as additional bedrooms or reconfigured into a self-contained space, offering scope for home working or guest accommodation.
Practical information is straightforward: freehold tenure, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing installed before 2002, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. The location is exceptional for families — top-rated schools are nearby and Highbury & Islington station and multiple bus routes are within easy reach.
Notable considerations: the house has been in the same ownership for 40 years and, while structurally solid, shows scope for updating and modernisation. Walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation; some windows and services predate current standards. Council tax is very expensive for the area and local crime levels are higher than average — both points to factor into long-term running costs and security planning.
