1-4, Highbury Place

Nos. 1-4 Highbury Place are a group of terraced houses built between 1773 and 1774, developed and designed by John Spiller. They are constructed of brick and stucco, with slate roofs. The houses are three storeys high with a basement and contain dormers.

No. 1 has a side entrance accessed through a stuccoed Ionic porch with a panelled door and fanlight, and a single-storey extension to the right with two tripartite sash windows under flat arches of gauged brick. A Borough of Islington plaque commemorates Walter Sickert. No. 2 has a later 19th-century commercial front incorporating stucco and red brick. No. 3 retains its original semi-circular arched recessed entrance with a panelled door of original design, alongside a late 19th or early 20th-century shopfront. The ground floor of No. 4 was altered in the late 19th century in a Queen Anne style, using rubbed brick and stone detailing.

A stucco storey band is present between the ground and first floors of Nos. 1-3. The upper windows are flat-arched with gauged brick heads, and some have original 6/6 sash windows. A brick band runs to the coped parapet. Dormers are set into a mansard roof, and stacks are situated on the party walls. Area railings with pinched spike and acorn finials are found at Nos. 1, 3 and 4; No. 2 has a late 19th-century scrolled iron balustrade.
