THE LEGAL BIT

While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details. Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others. Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances.

BRICKWORKS SAYS

Set within a handsome Victorian house, this three-bedroom flat has an inviting, considered feel from the outset. Sash windows on three sides draw in natural light throughout the day, giving the whole place a gentle brightness. Raw wood finishes and white walls keep things minimal but not stark — there’s warmth here, and an innate sense of tranquillity.

The layout is flexible and inviting, with space to work, sleep or grow into over time. There’s a lovely relationship with the outside, too. Opposite, a mature strip of green offers restful, leafy views. And, to the rear, a shared garden unfolds as a charming tangle of established planting — the sort of space that feels a little wild in the best way, and happily there when you need a more private pocket of outdoors.

Life here revolves easily around Highbury Barn, with Da Mario, La Fromagerie and Profile Coffee just across the street. For more expansive stretches of green, Highbury Fields and Clissold Park are a short stroll away. And Highbury & Islington station is a 15-minute walk, keeping the city comfortably within reach.

THE OWNER SAYS

We’ve really loved living here, not least for its spot in Highbury Barn, with its brilliant mix of delis, coffee shops and everyday essentials. Walking through Highbury Fields and having Clissold Park nearby has been a real highlight. It’s also incredibly well connected — quick to get into Central London or across to East London.

The flat itself has a great, central layout with rooms leading off a main hallway, windows on multiple sides, plenty of natural light, and lovely views throughout.
