86, Highbury New Park

This detached house was built between 1856 and 1861 as part of the development of Highbury New Park by Henry Rydon, and was likely designed by Charles Hambridge. It is constructed of yellow brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with red brick and stucco/stone dressings, and a roof of Welsh slate. The house is three storeys high, with a basement, and has a three-window front.

A flight of steps leads to a round-arched entrance within a single-storey wing set back on the right. The entrance arch is constructed of alternating red and yellow brick, with an embattled moulding at the top. There's a band of foliage below this, and a machicolated parapet on the returns. The main facade features a shallow bay window extending up through the basement, ground, and first floors. The ground floor has a pair of round-arched windows, similarly constructed with alternating brick and an embattled moulding, linked by a floral and fauna impost band. Above, the first floor has three windows recessed within a round-arched stucco arcade with panelled pilasters, foliage capitals, and an unmoulded arch. A balcony is corbelled out, built on three angled courses of bricks. A red brick cornice runs to a coped parapet. The second floor has two windows with wedge lintels and chamfered reveals, where the chamfer stops at the stonework. Brick dentils run to the boxed eaves. The roof is hipped and has side chimneys, now truncated. A single-storey extension is located to the left.
