Features
Description
Situated on the highly sought-after Ufton Grove, N1, within the De Beauvoir Conservation Area, this exceptional four-bedroom Victorian end-of-terrace freehold house presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully crafted family home of outstanding quality. Meticulously refurbished and architecturally reimagined, the property combines elegant period detailing with best-in-class contemporary specification, creating a home of remarkable character, width and volume.
Behind its handsome faade, the house unfolds into a series of beautifully proportioned interiors, notable for their unusually generous lateral spacean uncommon attribute in this location. The ground floor, enhanced by a professional excavation, enjoys exceptional ceiling heights and a wonderful sense of light and openness.
A formal reception room to the front offers a refined setting for entertaining, bathed in natural light from south-facing sash windows and centred around an extraordinary hand-carved 17th-century Louis XIV fireplace, sourced from a French chteau. A second matching fireplace further enhances the homes sense of heritage and distinction.
The principal living space lies to the rear, where a striking open-plan kitchen, dining and family area has been designed as the true heart of the home. Finished to a specification comparable with high-end American residences, it features a substantial central island, bespoke cabinetry and a comprehensive suite of premium appliances, including double ovens, twin dishwashers, wine refrigeration and air conditioning. A separate pantry and boot roomrarely found in similar homesadd further practicality.
Expansive slimline glazing spans the rear elevation, with full-width sliding doors opening onto a beautifully landscaped, low-maintenance garden. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, this space lends itself equally well to everyday family life and large-scale entertaining. Both the front and rear gardens have been thoughtfully planted to provide exceptional privacy, creating tranquil green outlooks of trees and sky rather than neighbouring houses.
The house has been the subject of an extensive and highly considered renovation by the award-winning architects Creig & Stephenson, known for their celebrated work at Borough Market. Their design includes a pioneering rear extension and carefully engineered garden excavation, incorporating glazed boundaries to maximise natural light while avoiding any sense of a lowered ground flooran approach that is both innovative and rarely achieved locally.
Accommodation is arranged across the upper floors, comprising four well-proportioned bedrooms and two contemporary bath/shower rooms. The principal suite occupies the top floor and benefits from uniquely elevated post-war window proportions, affording excellent natural light, far-reaching sky views and a high degree of privacyan uncommon advantage compared to neighbouring homes.
A particularly notable feature is the provision of a WC on every floor. In an area where planning restrictions often prevent such additionsand where many comparable houses have only a single bathroom or must sacrifice bedroom spacethis thoughtful configuration significantly enhances day-to-day living and sets the property apart.
Throughout, the house balances elegance with ingenuity, including bespoke details such as a concealed chinoiserie panel in the ground floor bathroom, revealing generous hidden storage.
Ufton Grove is superbly positioned for access to Haggerston and Dalston Junction Overground stations, with Canonbury and Essex Road also within easy reach, providing swift connections to Shoreditch, the City and Canary Wharf.
The independent cafs, restaurants and amenities of Southgate Road and Essex Road are nearby, along with the open green spaces of De Beauvoir Square, Rosemary Gardens, Shoreditch Park and the Regents Canal. De Beauvoir combines a quiet, village-like setting with immediate access to some of East Londons most popular independent spots, including De Beauvoir Deli, Sappe, and nearby canal-side favourites, alongside local pubs such as The De Beauvoir Arms. Just moments from Shoreditch and Islington, it offers a rare balance of calm residential living and vibrant caf, dining and nightlife on the doorstep.
Lovingly maintained for over 25 years, this is a rare and exceptional homeoffering architectural distinction, outstanding specification and beautifully considered family living in one of Islingtons most desirable enclaves.
Offered to the market chain free.
