Description

This charming five-bedroom Victorian terrace is situated on one of Highbury’s picturesque tree-lined streets, offering a blend of period features and modern living spaces. With a generous layout spanning approximately 1,966 square feet across three light-filled levels, the property presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment. Upon entering, the ground floor reveals itself as a welcoming hub of activity. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and family area has been extended to include a spacious rear addition with large skylights and sliding glass doors that provide seamless access to a landscaped garden. The space is characterized by exposed brick walls and pale wide-board flooring, establishing a contemporary ambiance while maintaining original charm through thoughtful joinery and bespoke cabinetry. The first floor showcases a formal reception room that could serve as a principal bedroom or guest space, featuring tall sash windows and intricate cornicing that accentuate its historic character. The second reception room can easily adapt to various needs—be it another bedroom or a home office—and is accompanied by one of the two family-sized bathrooms located conveniently on this level. A further bedroom is found on the half landing between the ground and first floors. The upper floors host four generously sized bedrooms, including a principal suite that spans the full width of the home. This suite benefits from built-in wardrobes and a classic fireplace, while the fourth bedroom on this level also enjoys ample natural light. Each floor includes well-appointed bathrooms featuring marble-topped vanities and traditional tiling. Notably, this property retains its pitched roof—a rarity in the area—which opens up possibilities for further expansion into the loft space with appropriate permissions. This feature sets it apart from many neighboring homes that have flat roofs, making it an appealing option for those looking to enhance their investment. Located just moments from vibrant Highbury Barn, residents can enjoy an array of local delicacies at nearby delis, bakeries, and cafés—including popular destinations like Lupa and Saltine—as well as established favorites such as Da Mario’s Deli and La Fromagerie. For outdoor enthusiasts, both Highbury Fields and Clissold Park are within easy reach for leisurely strolls or recreational activities. The transport links in this neighborhood are excellent; Highbury & Islington station (servicing both the Victoria Line and Overground) lies within walking distance, while Arsenal Underground and Drayton Park National Rail stations provide additional connectivity. Families will also appreciate access to several well-regarded primary schools in proximity. This combination of location advantages along with significant renovation potential makes this property an
