Stavordale Road, Highbury, N5

Description

SOLD -Not for the faint hearted but a rare find and opportunity. This has been a wonderful and happy home for our client and his family since 1965. Stavordale Road is a quiet residential side road situated in a highly sought after position with good schools, transport links and within striking distance of Upper Street and Holloway Road shopping facilities. This substantial, double bay fronted, 2400 sq. ft property still has the visitors and servants pull bells (sadly not working) harking back to former bygone days. The main room sizes are generous with good ceiling heights. The wide entrance hallway opens to two spacious front reception rooms with ceiling coving and large bays to the front. The hallway leads to the rear of the house with store cupboards and a walk-in cellar/ work room to the right and a door to the left which takes you into a large rear reception room, kitchen, and ground floor bathroom. The back door opens to a wide rear plot for afternoon and evening aspect. The central staircase leads up to a half rear landing and the main family bathroom within a rear addition. The staircase continues to the main first floor level with two huge bedrooms either side and a smaller nursery room set over the main entrance hall. These are wonderful rooms with great proportions. The central landing stairs then lead up to the top floor with two further huge bedrooms and a kitchenette. We are informed that the roof was replaced approx. 15 years ago. This grand house does require quite extensive modernising throughout. Some of the ceiling coving has fallen, but these houses do not come available often. Tony and Cherie Blair lived across the road some years back and they have an eye to good locations. This is a for-ever house and should be able to accommodate most families. The house retains many features and is not listed or in a conservation area. The Property is well positioned for a number of local (0.5miles) schools. Drayton Park Nursery and Primary is at the end of the road- Ofsted good. Secondary schools: Highbury Fields, girls- Ofsted outstanding, St John’s Highbury Vale CofE Primary School – Outstanding, Gillespie Primary School – Outstanding, St Mary Magdalene Ofsted good plus many others. Drayton Park, Arsenal, Highbury and Islington and Holloway Road stations and are close by. This really does give you a great choice for getting into the City. The delightful Highbury Fields is a short stroll away, whilst Upper Street area with the theatres, bars and bistros are also on hand. Holloway Road are all close by for good shopping facilities.
