Kelvin Road, London, N5

Tucked away on a tranquil residential cul-de-sac, just moments from the open green expanse of Highbury Fields, stands this refined Victorian terrace, a home that seamlessly balances period charm with modern versatility.

Approached via a graceful flight of tiled steps, the raised ground floor opens into an inviting entrance hall, framed by soaring ceilings, decorative cornicing, and original timber floorboards that hint at the property’s historic character.

To the front, a handsome double reception room is bathed in natural light from a wide bay window, while a sash window at the rear frames leafy garden views. Traditional shutters, a striking fireplace with period surround, and bespoke built-in storage all add to the sense of timeless sophistication. Toward the rear, the heart of the home unfolds into a generous kitchen and dining space, with direct access onto the private garden, ideal for both everyday family living and entertaining.

The lower ground floor currently serves as a self-contained one-bedroom apartment, complete with its own reception, modern kitchen, and stylish bathroom, as well as access to the garden. Importantly, the original internal staircase remains intact, offering the flexibility of integrating this level back into the main house or retaining it as a separate dwelling if desired.

Upstairs, the first floor is arranged around a beautifully appointed family bathroom and utility room, alongside two spacious double bedrooms, one enhanced by an en-suite. The uppermost floor is crowned by a light filled principal suite, featuring exposed brickwork, a Juliet balcony overlooking the treetops of Highbury, and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. A sleek home office with a private terrace completes the accommodation, offering an inspiring setting for work or retreat.

Perfectly positioned between the much loved Highbury Barn, famed for its artisan food shops and cafes and the vibrant energy of Upper Street, the property enjoys a truly enviable location. Residents benefit from immediate access to Highbury Fields and nearby Clissold Park, while transport connections are plentiful: Highbury & Islington (Victoria Line and Overground), Arsenal (Piccadilly Line), and Drayton Park (direct to Moorgate) are all within walking distance, alongside excellent local bus routes.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a family home that combines architectural elegance, flexible living, and one of Islington’s most sought-after addresses.
