Highbury Place, Highbury, London, N5

This is a genuinely rare chance to acquire a significant portion (3366 sq ft) of a house that overlooks the Fields and offers the opportunity to style and finish to you own specification.

Description

This is a listed freehold property occupying the upper parts and major portion of the five storey listed house. C. 1775 number 16 makes up part of a most impressive terrace of similar residential homes. One of the interesting things about this house is the bow shaped windows on the rear wall across the four floors; a detail that is shared by only a handful of other houses on Highbury Place.

There are many original features retained throughout the property that include ceiling mouldings, fireplaces and joinery. The current owners have maintained the structure of the house over their ownership but is now in need of updating. The current layout could easily be re-imagined to provide accommodation that suits the next owner, offering more living or bedroom space as required.

Location

Highbury Fields are 25 acres of recreational space that offer many amenities including tennis courts, playing fields and the gym alongside the swimming pool. The Queen Elizabeth walk, almost opposite the house, is named because of the notable visit of HM Queen Elizabeth II to Islington with the Duke of Edinburgh on 6th July 1977 when the path was opened. An event that was witnessed by one of the current family owners remembers watching from the ground floor of the house when she was a child.

Highbury Corner with the most extensive transport links that include The Victoria Line, National Rail, London Overground and buses providing access in all directions is only 200 m away. The many local facilities on Holloway Road and Upper Street such as Waitrose, bars and restaurants are also close by.
