Highbury Hill, Highbury, Islington, London, N5

An elegant four-bedroom Victorian house on one of Highbury’s most desirable streets, where period character meets striking contemporary design.


INSIDE

The home opens into a bright and inviting double reception room, its charm underlined by original cornicing, a marble fireplace and a graceful bay window flooding the space with light. The layout flows seamlessly from formal living to a more relaxed sitting area, with restored timber floors grounding the space.

To the rear, a dramatic kitchen conversion showcases a bold architectural finish. Polished concrete floor tiles extend through the space, setting a refined yet industrial tone. A large island anchors the room, complemented by bespoke cabinetry and sleek integrated appliances. Full-height metal-framed glazing opens entirely to the garden, while a vast pivoting glass window above a deep window seat creates a playful interplay between indoors and out. The design maximises both daylight and volume, making the kitchen and dining area a natural focal point of the home.
Beyond the kitchen, the garden is arranged with a clean, contemporary design—terraced with planters and framed by whitewashed walls and vertical slatted fencing. It’s a peaceful, private retreat, ideal for outdoor dining or quiet evenings.

Upstairs, four bedrooms are arranged across two floors. The principal bedroom enjoys generous proportions and retains period detailing, while further bedrooms offer flexibility for family life, guests, or study use. Two beautifully finished bathrooms serve the house, each thoughtfully designed—one with terrazzo tiling, freestanding bath and walk-in shower, the other with jewel-toned glazed tiles beneath a skylight, creating a spa-like atmosphere.
