Description

No. 80 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 has a roof made of Welsh slate.

The building stands three storeys high over a basement and features a three-window range. There are steps leading up to a round-arched entrance located in a gabled porch that projects from a three-storey wing set back to the left. The entrance's archway was probably originally made of alternating red and yellow brick but is now painted. It has an outer moulding of embattled billets and a foliage impost band. The first- and second-floor windows are round-arched, adorned with panelled pilasters and stucco archivolts, while the first floor also features foliage capitals.

The main front of the house includes a shallow bay at the basement, ground, and first floors. The ground floor has a pair of round-arched windows with heads likely made of alternating red and yellow brick, now painted, beneath a moulding of embattled billets, linked by a foliage impost band. The first floor has 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 parapet has been rebuilt and is coped.

On the second floor, there are two windows featuring wedge lintels and chamfered reveals, with the chamfer stopped in the stonework. The boxed eaves are decorated with brick dentils, and the hipped roof has side stacks that are now truncated. To the left of the porch, there is a gabled wing, possibly built at the same time as the main structure, which connects to a similar wing on No. 82 Highbury New Park. The ground floor window of this wing is round-arched.
