House For Sale £8,000,000
An extraordinary Grade II (c1773-4) freehold house overlooking Highbury Fields.
Description
This is a truly exceptional Georgian house and in a premier position on the highly sought-after Highbury Fields. The property is quite superb, with the most attractive light and airy rooms arranged over 5 floors. It also benefits from one of the largest private gardens in the area. The lateral space that the house offers, with a rear plot width of nearly 75’ is a rarity.
Upon entering the property through its magnificent hall, one's gaze is immediately drawn to the extensive garden, creating a wonderful sense of country living.
Featuring a central staircase, the house showcases exquisitely proportioned rooms on each floor and particularly at the back with its elegant bow facade.
The ground floor is currently arranged as a kitchen dining room and a stunning living room leading onto the garden. The first floor has the main bedroom, arguably the most beautiful room in the house, a bathroom, an additional bedroom (currently a library), a study, and a utility room.
The second and third floors are self-sufficient, comprising a kitchen dining room, a living room, two additional bedrooms, and a bathroom. And the large roof terrace provides picturesque views of both the fields and the garden—a feature unique to Highbury Fields.
The basement is arranged as a self-contained studio flat, looking on to its own terraced garden.
To the north of the house are a series of outbuildings: a Coach House, garage, and various others. With the necessary planning and listed building consents, this space could be transformed into something exceptional, further connecting the vast lateral space of the property.
Opportunities to acquire a property of this calibre are rare and a realisation of its full potential would further enhance its position as one of the finest houses in Islington.
Location
Highbury Place enjoys a prime location overlooking Islington's largest park, offering residents the perfect blend of tranquillity and convenience. With excellent transport links from Highbury Corner, the property provides easy access to the whole of London.
Square Footage: 6,104 sq ft
