88, Highbury New Park

No. 88 Highbury New Park is a detached house built between 1856 and 1861. It was developed by Henry Rydon and likely designed by Charles Hambridge. The house is constructed of yellow brick in Flemish bond, with red brick and stucco or stone dressings, and features a 20th-century tiled roof. It stands three storeys high over a basement and has a three-window range.

The entrance is accessed by steps leading up to a round-arched doorway located in a rebuilt two-storey porch that is set back to the right. The porch features a red brick arch with an outer moulding of embattled billets. Above the porch, there is a round-arched window with similar detailing and a machicolated parapet.

The main facade has a shallow bay that extends across the basement, ground, and first floors. On the ground floor, there are two round-arched windows with alternating red and yellow brick heads under a moulding of embattled billets, connected by a foliage impost band. The first floor features three windows set within a round-arched stucco arcade, which includes panelled pilasters, foliage capitals, and an unmoulded archivolt with a pointed extrados. A balcony on the first floor is corbelled out on three oversailing courses of bricks set at an angle. The second floor has two windows with wedge lintels and chamfered reveals, where the chamfer stops in the stonework. The eaves are adorned with brick dentils, and the hipped roof has side stacks that have been truncated. The house is included for its group value.
