Fieldsway House, Fieldway Crescent, Highbury Fields, London, N5

Positioned on the raised ground floor of an imposing red-brick Edwardian mansion block directly beside Highbury Fields, this beautifully presented three-bedroom (two doubles and a study) apartment combines generous proportions, refined period detailing and direct access to communal gardens.

Extending to over 1,050 sq ft, the apartment has been thoughtfully updated, balancing contemporary finishes with the character and scale expected of a home from this era. Ceiling mouldings, original fireplaces, large sash windows and bespoke joinery run throughout, while the elevated position and dual aspect create an exceptional quality of natural light across the principal rooms.

INSIDE

A wide and welcoming entrance hallway sets the tone on arrival, connecting each of the principal spaces with a strong sense of flow and proportion.

To the front, the reception room is particularly impressive — a bright, elegant space framed by a large bay window overlooking the greenery beyond. High ceilings, decorative cornicing and an ornate original fireplace reinforce the apartment’s Edwardian character, while bespoke shelving and cabinetry have been carefully integrated into the room. Adjacent, a second substantial room currently arranged as a dining room offers equally impressive volume and flexibility, also centred around a restored period fireplace and large sash windows.

The kitchen sits to the rear of the apartment and has been modernised in a calm, understated palette with shaker-style cabinetry, tiled splashbacks and generous worktop space. There is ample room for dining, alongside direct access out to the communal courtyard and gardens beyond.

The principal bedroom is quietly positioned toward the rear of the apartment and benefits from bespoke fitted storage and a peaceful outlook. An additional third room — currently arranged as a study — works equally well as a nursery, guest room or home office.

The bathroom has been finished with soft green glazed tiling, traditional fittings and a freestanding bathtub, creating a more contemporary contrast to the apartment’s retained period detailing. A separate utility area adds further practicality and storage.
