3 bed flat for sale

Fieldview Court II, London N5

This beautiful split-level, three-bedroom maisonette occupies a prime position immediately opposite the eastern side of Highbury Fields. Beautifully renovated interiors are shaped by a feeling of light and volume. From the open-plan living space, a private south-facing balcony is a lovely spot with views over the neighbouring park.

The Tour

The simple, angular facade of Fieldview Court is set back from Highbury Grove by a slim pathway that leads to the entrance. Constructed with a light London stock brick, the building cuts a smart silhouette against the sky above.

This apartment occupies the top two floors of the building. Its front door opens to a generous hallway with Fired Earth floor tiles that flow into the understairs storage cupboard and WC opposite.

Beyond is the airy kitchen, living and dining room, which has windows on two aspects as well as a glazed door to the south-facing balcony. Welcoming and calm, the open-plan nature of the room creates a sense of cohesiveness. Bespoke cupboards, painted in 'Elephant's Breath', provide plenty of storage. Another cupboard opposite was formed using solid oak offcuts from the kitchen. Tucked around the corner, the galley kitchen has been finished to an extremely high standard, with solid oak worktops and built-in appliances from AEG.

There are three bedrooms upstairs, with two used as studies; all three have leafy views. The main bedroom is at the front; a simple, minimal space, it has a wall of built-in wardrobes. A smaller study across the landing doubles as a brilliant walk-in wardrobe.

The upper-floor bathroom and a separate WC are grounded with the same monochromatic floor tiles. The former has solid brass fittings by Aston Matthews and matching hooks for hanging towels and dressing gowns.

Outdoor Space

The south-facing balcony is a tranquil and sequestered spot with views over the leafy mature trees of Highbury Fields. There is room for a table and chairs, with planters around the edges.

Garages and parking spaces are available to rent upon request.

The Area

Fieldview Court lies opposite the green, open spaces of Highbury Fields, which has tennis courts, a playground and a swimming pool within Highbury Leisure Centre. Highbury Barn is close by and has a wonderful butcher, Godfrey’s, Bourne’s Fishmongers, Da Mario deli and the excellent original branch of La Fromagerie. Upper Street is home to everything from Ottolenghi to Gail's; the Almeida Theatre to The Old Red Lion Theatre & Pub.

Clissold Park and Finsbury Park are both within easy walking distance. Nearby Newington Green has a wealth of great places to eat, including Jolene and Perilla. Stoke Newington Church Street is also easily reached, along with Dalston, which is home to the famous Dusty Knuckle and stalwart restaurants like Mangal II.
