47, Highbury New Park

This is a detached house built in 1856 as part of a development by Henry Rydon, designed by Charles Hambridge. It is constructed of yellow brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with red brick dressings, tiles, stucco, and possibly stone. The roof is slate. The house is three stories high, with a basement, and has a three-window front.

The basement is stuccoed, with steps leading to a round-arched entrance within a single-story porch wing on the left. There is a further set-back bay to the left of the porch. The porch has a cornice and fanlight, with a gauged red brick head and corbelled details, supported by impost blocks, and a band of encaustic tiles above the entrance. An openwork parapet to the porch is likely a replacement.

The ground floor features alternating bands of red and yellow brick, rising to an impost band of angled bricks. It has round-arched windows with alternating red and yellow brick heads. A bracketed bay window on the first floor incorporates three round-arched windows with similar detailing to the porch and encaustic tile bands, topped with a coped parapet. Two round-arched windows are present on the second floor, with gauged red brick heads beneath a shallow central gable. The remainder of the front and sides feature a Lombard frieze supporting the eaves, interrupted by stacks and windows to the returns. The roof is hipped, with side stacks having oversailing courses. This house shares a design with No. 49 Highbury New Park.
