An architecturally designed and well presented upper maisonette situated within a well maintained Victorian building on Martineau Road. The property benefits from a large south facing roof terrace at the rear, which is an ideal place for entertaining. The property has been extensively refurbished throughout to a high standard and has many thoughtfully applied features and materials, which have been seamlessly integrated into the design. Key design elements organising the spaces are the bold sliding spine wall and sculptural tri-board stair. The design scheme, conceived by Ullmayer Sylvester Architects, was nominated for a ‘Don’t Move Improve’ award.

The main living space offers a fabulous open plan layout with a modern fully integrated kitchen utilising reclaimed slate tiles and a central island constructed from a reclaimed teak school worktop. Adjacent to the living space is a well-proportioned bright and airy double bedroom which is divided by integrated sliding doors. The master bedroom is situated on the top floor of the property within the spacious loft. The bedroom is open to a dressing area with floor to ceiling built-in wardrobes. The electronically operated windows with built-in blinds reveal lots of light and a lovely vista over Highbury rooftops and Central London. On the same level, you’ll find the impressive contemporary shower room with electric underfloor heating, which has been designed to a very high standard using large limestone and basalt tiles.

Numerous custom joinery details are on show throughout, such as the impressive free-standing tri-board spruce staircase and the thoughtfully angled softwood floors. Features such as the exposed steel beams and the full height light-well provide many striking perspectives. The property is exceptionally quiet, in part due to the acoustic insulation integrated into the neighbouring walls and upper floor, as well as the location in this peaceful pocket of Highbury.

The vibrant Holloway Road, Highbury Barn and Upper Street are on hand, providing a wealth of bars, restaurants, delicatessens, and independent boutique shops. The property is moments from Highbury Fields and in close proximity to Clissold Park, and is conveniently located for easy access to and from the City. Arsenal Station (Piccadilly Line), Drayton Park Overground (which offers direct trains to Moorgate) and Highbury and Islington station (providing access to the Victoria Line, London Overground and Great Northern) are all a short walk away.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on January 6, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 6, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on November 14, 2012 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
