Peacefully set only moments away from Highbury Fields on one of the areas most desired streets is this charming, red brick, Victorian family home brimming with character, set within the Calabria Road conservation area.
A grand entrance hallway with original Victorian mosaic tiles underfoot provides a welcoming entrance, complete with original corbels and coving, which leads to the reception space at the front of the ground floor. The space enjoys plenty of original features inclusive of attractive, colourful stained glass windows, detailed coving, original ceiling rose and an intricate fireplace with bespoke shelving in the recesses either side. Two steps separate the space from the more relaxed living area, which adjoins the spectacular kitchen/dining room, ideal for gatherings and sun soaked thanks to the architect-designed glazed roof. The space features an island and bi-folding doors that lead to the secluded garden. The ground floor also leads to the practical utility space in the cellar, which features good head height, rarely found in homes on the street.
The principal suite occupies the front of the first floor, with a large square bay window and an additional window next to it, providing a real sense of grandeur, also featuring beautiful stained glass windows to match the ground floor below. An original fireplace is present, with the dressing room providing access to the en-suite. There is a bedroom at the rear of the first floor housed on the split level, positioned next to a family bathroom suite.
Two large double bedrooms occupy the top floor, with bespoke “neatsmith” wardrobes in the bedroom at the front. A flat roof can be accessed from the stairwell that links the first and top floor, which ‘STPP’ can be converted into an additional room or potentially, again, ‘STPP’ a roof terrace.
Calabria Road is one of Highbury’s most desirable addresses, set parallel from the greenery of Highbury Fields with its open spaces, tennis courts and well-trodden dog walking routes. You are also
within a short walk of Highbury & Islington, Upper Street and the village-esque Highbury Barn where foodies will discover recent new opening Saltine, along with local favourites Da Mario’s Deli and La Fromagerie, for more superb local dining, you are only a short walk from Trullo.
Connectivity doesn’t come much more conveniently than in this location. Few places will take you into Central London as well as out of the city quicker than from Highbury & Islington.
