Set on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Highbury, this well‑proportioned Victorian family house offers generous living across approximately 2,100 sq ft. The home retains strong period character — high ceilings, ornate cornicing, feature fireplaces and large sash windows — and benefits from a substantial double through reception and dining room ideal for family life and entertaining.
A landscaped, south‑facing garden provides a sunny, private outdoor space directly off the kitchen — a rare city garden aspect for this location. Accommodation spans multiple floors with five large double bedrooms and a flexible lower‑ground level that works well as a guest suite, home office or playroom. The property is freehold and sits within easy reach of Highbury Fields, Clissold Park, Newington Green and excellent transport links (Highbury & Islington, Canonbury).
Buyers should note a few material points: the house is a period solid‑brick build (c.1900–1929) and the walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy upgrades and insulation works may be required. There are two bathrooms for five bedrooms, which could be restrictive for larger families and may prompt reconfiguration. Council tax is listed as expensive and local crime levels are above average — factors to consider when budgeting for running costs and security measures.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful family home in a highly desirable inner‑London location. It will suit buyers looking for generous proportions, a sunny private garden and scope to upgrade and personalise period fabric rather than a fully modernised turnkey property.
