Northolme Road, London, N5 2UX

Northolme Road sits within the Sotheby Road conservation area, a tree-lined stretch of Highbury where the houses are tall, red-brick and handsomely preserved.

Built in 1896, this property takes the ground and lower ground floors of one of them, with its own private entrance.

The reception room runs the full width of the house: over 30 feet of original timber flooring, high ceilings, two grand fireplaces and tall sash windows topped with blue coloured glass.

There's space to sit at one end and dine comfortably at the other. The kitchen, with Neff appliances, is at the rear and opens straight onto the garden.

The principal bedroom is on this floor too, with a custom Hammonds wardrobe, French doors to the garden and its own en-suite shower room.

Downstairs, the second double bedroom is currently used as a study, lined with built-in storage and a Murphy bed, next to the family bathroom with a bath and separate shower.

There is generous storage throughout, something period conversions rarely offer. The 35ft garden faces south, and as the house is end of terrace, it is quiet and private.

It has a lawn, renewed decking and off-street parking alongside. Lavender, magnolia, camellia, Japanese maple and blackberries bring colour throughout the year.

Highbury Barn is a short walk away for La Fromagerie, Godfreys and Bourne's. Clissold Park, the New River Walk and Highbury Fields are all close. Arsenal is about ten minutes on foot.

Finsbury Park and Highbury & Islington are also within easy reach. Tenure: Share of Freehold
