Englefield Road, De Beauvoir, Islington, London, N1 3LG

Set within one of De Beauvoir’s most handsome mid-Victorian terraces, this substantial four-storey house with additional garden studio presents a rare design-and-build opportunity.

The property is offered in collaboration with the current owner, a renowned developer in North and East London, providing purchasers the chance to work alongside an expert team to realise a bespoke home to their exact specification.

The house extends to approximately 2,692 sq ft internally, with generous proportions throughout and a layout that lends itself to contemporary re-imagining while retaining its historic charm.

On the lower ground floor, an open plan kitchen and dining area flows toward the rear garden, complemented by a cinema room and additional living space.

The ground floor is arranged around a dramatic double reception room opening to a study at the rear, with access to the front garden.

The first floor currently accommodates two double bedrooms, including a main suite with walk-in wardrobe and adjoining bathroom.

Above, the second floor offers two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The garden, stretching over 57 ft, leads to a self-contained studio – perfect as a home office, creative workspace, or guest accommodation.

Dating back to the mid-19th century, Englefield Road was laid out as part of the De Beauvoir Estate, a grid of elegant terraces built on land owned by the De Beauvoir family.

Its distinctive architecture, generous plots, and leafy aspect have ensured its reputation as one of Islington’s most desirable addresses.

This property now offers a unique opportunity to craft a modern home within that historic framework, with the support of a leading developer.
