Gallia Road, Highbury, London, N5

Really attractive late Victorian family sized house in a quiet residential road.

Description

Gallia Road is one of a collection of similar residential roads just behind Highbury Fields. Consequently, the house is really convenient for Highbury Corner with it’s excellent transport links and the many facilities on Highbury Fields.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors with a cellar that is plumbed for a washing machine and a tumble drier. All the rooms are both light and airy and can be utilised in a number of ways depending on the needs of the next occupier.

There are up to four bedrooms (currently the first floor front room is being utilised as a further reception room) and two high quality bathrooms both with windows on the upper floors.

The top floor offers two bedrooms, one with eaves storage and the rear bedroom providing access to the fantastic terrace; the terrace roof was completely replaced in 2024 and the tiles were laid in October this year.

The first floor has two further bedrooms (the front room being used as a sitting room) with the two bathrooms. Additionally there is a fantastic walk in wardrobe on the same landing.

The house was completely and thoughtfully refurbished throughout in 2000 whilst the remodelling of the ground floor, including the side extension, was completed in 2014 and overseen by the architect James Dakin of Dakin Marshall Studio. This work has made the house so appealing on so many levels. The whole floor runs from the front to the rear of the house combining dining, kitchen, sitting and day space all in one light filled space. Whilst it is an open space, there is the possibility to close the front that is occupied by the kitchen and dining space from the sitting room at the rear. Of particular note, is the sitting room at the rear of the house that opens via folding doors to the verdant, private rear garden. A really special , generous comfortable room.

The current owner has looked after the house to a high standard during their tenure. The outside of the windows were painted between 2014–15 and a new front door from The London Door Company was fitted in 2024.

This is a most attractive residential home that has been very well looked after in a sought after Highbury spot.
