Islington - De Beauvoir

A semi-detached four-bedroom period home in Islington with a true house feel, set on a peaceful street just moments from De Beauvoir, with an unusually large private garden and driveway.

This is one of those homes that draws you in instantly. Although technically a maisonette, it lives and feels like a house, spread over three beautifully proportioned floors and offering 1,673 sq ft of light-filled space. From the moment you step inside, the combination of timeless architectural character and smart, contemporary design creates a warm, uplifting atmosphere.

The raised ground floor is the heart of the home, where an open-plan reception, dining and kitchen space brings everyone together. It is a place for quiet weekday breakfasts, lively weekend lunches and evenings spent with friends around the table. High ceilings, ornate cornicing and two large sash windows with bespoke shutters invite natural light to stream in, while the working fireplace creates a warm, welcoming focal point. The kitchen is fully integrated and thoughtfully planned so cooking feels effortless, with views that draw your eye out to the garden. A guest WC and utility room are tucked away for everyday ease.

Upstairs, the four double bedrooms each offer their own retreat. The main bedroom feels especially peaceful, with leafy views that change beautifully through the seasons. Morning light pours in, making it a gentle place to start the day. Both bathrooms invite you to slow down, one with a freestanding clawfoot tub where you can soak while looking out over the period fac ades of the street, the other with a walk-in rainfall shower that feels fresh and energising. Light seems to follow you throughout the upper floors, spilling across the landings and even into the bathrooms, enhanced by the generous ceiling heights and well-placed windows.

The garden is where this home truly exceeds expectations for central London. Stretching over 70 feet, it feels like your own private oasis, with mature planting, open lawn and space to dine, entertain or simply let children play freely. The current owners have spent countless afternoons here, kicking a football with their son. The front garden offers private off-street parking, a rare and valuable advantage.

In the words of the current owners:
“What we have loved most about living here is the huge garden with parking, which is such a treat in central London, and the incredible feeling of light and space throughout the house. Every room feels bright and uplifting, even the landings and bathrooms, and the ceiling heights make the whole home feel wonderfully airy.”

There is also exciting potential, as the property comes with freeholder pre-approval to build a substantial garden studio, subject to planning permission. This would make an ideal home office, creative space or guest accommodation.

Morton Road is a quiet residential street in Islington, lined with trees and elegant period fac ades and located within the East Canonbury Conservation Area. Step outside and you are moments from the cafe s and independent shops of De Beauvoir, with Canonbury, Dalston Junction, Upper Street and the Regent’s Canal all within easy walking distance.
