Witherington Road, Highbury, London, N5

Located on a quiet, tree lined residential street just moments from Highbury Fields, this beautiful Victorian home has recently undergone an extensive back to brick refurbishment. Architecturally redesigned by Melanie Goode, a specialist in environmentally sensitive conservation of heritage homes, the property has been transformed to create exceptional natural light, great flow and an abundance of style throughout.
Sitting proudly with impressive kerb appeal, this magnificent home comprises an inviting entrance hall with high ceilings, ornate coving, decorative corbels and restored black and white chequered tiled flooring that flows seamlessly into beautiful oak herringbone parquet flooring, which in turn leads through a stylish Crittall door into the wonderful triple reception room.

Positioned to the front of the property, the elegant reception room is accessed via Crittall double doors and is flooded with natural light from large south facing double-glazed sash bay windows; enjoying pleasant views over the attractive period homes on Witherington Road. The reception space further benefits from original coving, oak herringbone parquet flooring and underfloor heating, which extends throughout the ground floor.

At the heart of the home is the stunning two tone solid oak kitchen by Naked Kitchens, beautifully finished with oak and navy cabinets complemented by Carrara quartz worktops. Fully integrated Miele appliances, a breakfast bar and generous work surface space make this a highly functional yet stylish space and great for hosting.

To the rear, the impressive dining area is bathed in natural light through floor to ceiling sliding doors, thoughtfully designed to complement the property's Crittall aesthetic. Herringbone tiled flooring with underfloor heating continues throughout the space and flows effortlessly into the rear garden, where matching herringbone tiling creates a seamless transition between inside and out. The walled garden is remarkably quiet and the vendors have added turquoise tiles to the rear of the house creating an artistic and joyful feature. As part of the redesign, the architects partially excavated the dining area to create enhanced ceiling height and therefore a greater sense of volume. Tucked discreetly beneath the staircase is a beautifully appointed guest WC, featuring oak panelling and William Morris wallpaper.

The first floor houses the stunning principal bedroom positioned at the front of the house. Bathed in natural light from a south facing bay window and an additional sash window, the room enjoys excellent proportions along with high ceilings, original coving, underfloor heating, bespoke fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite bathroom reminiscent of a five-star hotel. The en-suite features a striking freestanding bath, a walk-in double shower and underfloor heating. Set to the rear of the first floor is delightful study with custom made shelving.

The second floor consists of two further well proportioned double bedrooms, a beautifully appointed family shower room and a separate utility area. In addition, there is a generous loft space which has been boarded and insulated, offering excellent potential for conversion into an additional bedroom suite, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The property enjoys a peaceful residential setting while remaining within easy walking distance of Highbury & Islington Station, providing access to the Victoria Line, London Overground and Great Northern services. Holloway Road Underground Station (Piccadilly Line) and Drayton Park Station, offering direct services to Moorgate, are also close by.

The vibrant amenities of Upper Street, Holloway Road and Highbury Barn are all within easy reach, offering an excellent selection of bars, restaurants, cafés, delicatessens and independent boutiques. A further benefit is that the property falls within the catchment area for St Mary Magdalene Academy, rated Outstanding by Ofsted.
