A bright home of great character and design presented with impressive attention to detail, retaining many period features and benefitting from a rarely found south-facing roof terrace, just moments from Highbury Barn.
Accommodation is immaculately presented and entered via a grand welcoming hallway, complete with mosaic tiled floor in the Victorian style, original coving and corbels. The principal reception and dining rooms are accessed through handsome panelled double doors, and have a working marble fireplace, beautiful cornices, ceiling roses and high skirtings.
The dining room flows through to the part double height kitchen, filled with light from the atrium above. The kitchen gives access to the rear courtyard garden with mature trees and to the cellar with plenty of storage space.
A further elegant reception room is to the front of the first floor, with impressive oak parquet flooring, original cornice and a working fireplace with travertine marble mantel and granite hearth.
A study/ additional double bedroom sits behind as well as a family bathroom, with a further recently remodelled bathroom on the upper half-landing.
There are two double bedrooms on the second floor along with double door access to a sunny roof terrace with hardwood deck and brick parapets, ideal for entertaining or relaxing.
The loft space was converted by the current owners to form a stylish master bedroom with en-suite shower room. Bi-folding doors and a large Velux window make this a beautiful well-lit room.
Overall, a special house, which has been meticulously cared for that must be viewed to be appreciated.
The property is supremely well placed for the greenery and amenities of Highbury Fields, the shops of Highbury Barn including the renowned Godfreys butchers, fishmongers and Da Marios delicatessen. Transport is a short walk to Highbury & Islington station (National Rail, Victoria Line & London Overground), along with Arsenal Underground (Piccadilly Line) and Drayton Park (Great Northern) for quick access to Moorgate in the City. The renowned restaurants of Farang, Westerns Laundry and Primeur can be found locally within Highbury, they are certainly must trys!
