A Victorian Freehold offering vast proportions, exceptional character and outstanding potential, spread across three elegant storeys in one of Highbury’s most peaceful enclaves.
INSIDE
This handsome red-brick home spans over 1,870 sq ft and is rich in period charm.
The ground floor sets the tone with a pair of original reception rooms, connected by double doors and adorned with dramatic ceiling heights, intricate cornicing and deep skirtings. The front reception features a grand bay window and ornate fireplace, while the rear enjoys garden views and stained-glass transoms.
To the rear, the kitchen and dining area is set beneath a striking glass roof, flooding the space with natural light. French doors open onto a mature, walled courtyard garden which is a tranquil oasis.
Across the upper two floors, you’ll find four generously proportioned bedrooms, with sash windows and original floorboards. On the first-floor a large bedroom currently used as a reception room as it stretches the full width of the house and is particularly impressive. Two bathrooms serve the upper levels, and there’s a large cellar below for additional storage.
Albeit perfectly charming as it is, with its original doors, decorative fireplaces, and a wealth of untouched details throughout, the house offers an excellent canvas for a buyer looking to reimagine space while preserving the property’s historical fabric.
