This immaculate home extends 48 feet wide across the raised ground floor of a period Victorian property on Highbury Fields, offering generous light-filled rooms, high ceilings and direct access to a large private terrace and communal garden. At more than 2,100 sq ft (including a 530 sq ft living room), it combines the space of a house with the benefits of lateral living.

To the front, this unique property overlooks Highbury Fields. To the rear, the principal reception rooms face south-west and overlook the home's large private terrace and communal gardens. It feels miles away from its central location, less than 5 minutes' walk from Upper Street and Highbury & Islington station.

The owners completely refurbished the home to an exceptional standard in 2019, under the guidance of an award-winning interior designer. Approximately two-thirds of the apartment is located on the raised ground floor of the building, with the remainder at garden level. The principal rooms are fitted with a bespoke Lutron lighting system.

The reception/dining room on the raised ground floor extends to approx. 530 sq ft across three large sash windows with working shutters. This room connects directly into the eat-in kitchen with two further large sash windows, creating a combined living space that is five-windows wide and south-west facing. The bespoke kitchen includes high-end appliances such as a Gaggenau fridge/freezer. An external staircase connects these rooms to the private terrace (with a large outdoor dining table) and communal garden. All windows were sympathetically replaced and double-glazed as part of the renovation.

The large principal bedroom is also on the raised ground floor, with high ceilings and east-facing views overlooking Highbury Fields. This bedroom includes fitted Poliform wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom with book-matched Carrara marble tiling and underfloor heating. The hall, second bedroom / study (also overlooking Highbury Fields), and a family shower room complete the accommodation on the raised ground floor.
Stairs lead to the garden level, which consists of two further bedrooms, a tv room (or 5th bedroom), bathroom and utility room. These bedrooms also connect via French doors onto the private terrace area. This level includes a separate entrance door for ease of access to that level (in addition to the main entrance door on the raised ground floor).
Properties of this type (offering period lateral living) are rarely available in Islington, let alone in turn-key condition on Highbury Fields.

This unique maisonette has to be seen to be appreciated.
