HIGHBURY LONDON, N5

about

The location is a newly refurbished semi-detached house on a private road within a Conservation Area in Islington. 

The brick extension has been thoughtfully inspired by the adjacent Victorian warehouse and mirrors the industrial saw-tooth roof profile. This area opens generously to the sun and garden, enhanced by a large triangular rooflight that floods the space with natural light. There are further features which inspire delight inside –  a sculpted staircase winds gracefully from the expanded entrance hall to the loft, with a continuous handrail that leads past an original stained glass window and under a wide opening rooflight. This spiral staircase is not just a functional element but a piece of art, playing with geometry and light to create dynamic visual interest. The interior palette is simple yet elegant, featuring timber and lime-washed plaster. 

The ground floor comprises a front reception room, open-plan kitchen and living area, and a laundry room, all of which have sliding pocket doors to close them off from the rest of the house. There are four bedrooms – the master bedroom and loft both have vaulted double-height ceilings. 

Ample on-street parking on a wide road
