London, N5 1XB

This charming three-bedroom home is set in a repurposed, late-Victorian shop on a quiet low traffic road, moments from Highbury Fields. The living areas are spacious and thoughtfully designed, with dual-aspect windows flooding the space with natural light, creating a refined, contemporary feel that subtly nods to the building’s past. The owners have lived in this home for 25 years and its proved the perfect size for a busy couple, often both working from home, and at the same time it is also easily expandable for guests and flexible enough to accommodate a young family. The house’s best feature is that sunlight floods every room. Being on the end of a terrace and on the corner of a wide street, nothing blocks the light and its not overlooked, so the house manages to feel both wide open and yet also quite private. Ronalds Road is one-way and quiet day and night, so the house provides a peaceful, cosy spot to work from home during the week and, with its compact garden and sunny, paved dining area, is also an inviting place to relax over the weekend. Across the road is Highbury Fields with 11 tennis courts, artificial turf football pitch, basketball, netball, playground and 25m competition swimming pool. Highbury is a safe, walkable neighbourhood with a spoiling choice of cafés, restaurants and entertainments. Momets away is Highbury and Islington Station (providing access to the Victoria Line, London Overground and Great Northern) as well as a short stroll from Drayton Park Station (which provides direct access to Moorgate).
