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.
