Mortimer Road, De Beauvoir, London, N1

Architecture & Interior

The hallway welcomes you with a grand, original staircase featuring a hand-turned banister and original spindles. Underfoot, original floorboards add character, while a rear window floods the space with natural light and offers a view of the garden. The double-aspect reception room is wider than average for the area, bathed in light from a large bay window. It boasts a charming Victorian fireplace, an elegant ceiling rose, and decorative coving. French doors open onto the raised tier of the garden, leading to one of four terraces. At the rear of the ground floor, a guest WC sits next to the converted garage, which is currently used as an office. This versatile space could also serve as an additional bedroom, guest suite, gym, or studio, with access to a large decked area. The adjoining utility room, which benefits from both garden and street access, is already plumbed for a shower, offering the potential to be converted into an en-suite. A cleverly designed bin store at the front provides convenient street access through the utility room to the rear garden.

The stunning entertaining space spans the entire lower level, complemented by a more informal living area at the front. Adjacent to this space is a stylish shower room, featuring bespoke copper hardware. At the heart of the home is the beautifully designed handmade kitchen, fitted with premium Fischer & Paykel appliances and integrated Miele dishwasher. It boasts a substantial island and a spacious dining area. At the rear, wooden bi-folding doors fully retract, seamlessly connecting the interior to the lower tier of the garden—an ideal setting for gatherings. Wood-effect tiles with underfloor heating extend from inside to the lower terrace, enhancing the sense of flow and comfort.

The top floor hosts two generously sized double bedrooms, along with a beautifully appointed bathroom suite. The rear bedroom benefits from a dedicated dressing room, which could easily be converted back into a third bedroom if desired. A rare advantage of this property is its off-street parking, complete with an EV charging point. With its tiered garden and two double-aspect entertaining areas, the home offers an exceptional sense of space—something seldom found in such a sought-after location. Although currently presented as a two-bedroom house, the layout allows for conversion into four or even five bedrooms with minimal modifications, offering remarkable flexibility to suit a variety of needs.
