Apartments & Penthouses In a Unique Garden SettingTRANSCRIPT
ApArtments & penthouses In A unIque GArDen settInG
From DreAm FACtorY to ContemporArY GArDen squAre.
For almost one hundred years Highbury Stadium was a second home to legendary players and die- hard fans; it is no surprise that the unveiling of Highbury Square was such an eagerly awaited affair.
The results are truly impressive, from the sympathetic conversion of the Grade II listed East Stand to the creation of elegant apartment buildings at the ‘North Bank’ and ‘Clock End’, this exclusive development has been finished with the style and grace befitting such a pretigious venue.
Appropriately, the focal point of the development is on the ‘pitch’, where a stunning new garden has been laid out by Chelsea Gold Medal winner Christopher Bradley- Hole; the two- acre garden is formed from an abstract composition of terraces, lawns, hedges and planters and is punctuated by decorative features of glass- encased water walls.
First- class design is complimented by first- class facilities; the concierge, based in the original Art Deco marble hall in the East Stand, provides service and security 24 hours a day, secure underground parking is available and there are plans for a new fitness centre and swimming pool.
Highbury Square is a peaceful place, rich in heritage but far removed from the hustle and bustle of a match- day afternoon. It will be admired and appreciated by a new set of fans promising a future as vibrant as the past.

These are just some of the appealing features of the North Stand apartments. Built on the site of the ‘North Bank’, former Mecca to twelve thousand of Arsenal’s most ardent supporters, The North Stand is a new, elegant, seven-storey building with a mixture of one, two and three bedroom apartments and penthouses. Designed by award- winning architects, Allies and Morrison, the south- facing aspect is complimented by huge windows, timber screens and glass fronted balconies. Discreet entrances are accessed via quiet, landscaped courtyards and the building offers a selection of layouts including duplex garden apartments and penthouses with wrap- around terraces.

hIGhburY hAs lonG been one oF lonDon’s most DesIrAble ‘vIllAGes’.
Located in the London Borough of Islington, the N5 postcode is one of the Capital’s most coveted. At the heart of the village is world famous Highbury Fields, close to thirty acres of open parkland, stretching from Highbury Corner almost to Highbury Barns. On a warm summer evening or crisp winter morning, the twenty- minute walk from Highbury Square to Upper Street, via the ‘Fields’ is something to savour. Amongst the shops and restaurants in Highbury Park lie one or two hidden gems, most notably the calorie- fest that is La Fromagerie and F. Godfrey the butcher whose regulars travel from far and wide. For life’s more mundane necessities, Waitrose and Marks & Spencers are found in nearby Holloway Road.
