De Beauvoir Road, De Beauvoir Town, London, N1

This beautifully reimagined three-bedroom Victorian townhouse has been thoughtfully redesigned by HUT Architecture, with a focus on light, space, and materiality. The home seamlessly blends original period features with contemporary design, highlighting expert craftsmanship and bespoke joinery throughout.

A Crittall-style glass partition welcomes you into the hallway, allowing natural light to filter through. Geometric floor tiles transition into wide Douglas Fir floorboards in the living room, where a handcrafted Granby fireplace is set against Marmelo walls by Farrow & Ball. Original paned windows further enhance the sense of warmth and character.

The rear extension houses a striking kitchen and dining space, featuring Petersen black brickwork both inside and out, which was chosen for its rich, evolving patina. Olive-green Shaker cabinetry, Carrara marble worktops, and integrated appliances offer modern convenience, while skylights and expansive glazing flood the room with light and frame views of the ivy-covered garden wall. A guest W/C and built-in storage complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, a Douglas Fir staircase leads to three bedrooms and a terrazzo-tiled bathroom. Underfloor heating runs throughout, ensuring comfort in every corner of this thoughtfully updated home.

Designed by renowned landscape architect Tom Massey, the garden has been carefully plotted with a focus on biodiversity and ecologically conscious planting. Concrete beds house verdant ferns, evergreens and grasses creating a backdrop of lush greenery.
