Northchurch Road, De Beauvoir, Islington, London, N1

Positioned on one of De Beauvoir’s most elegant and architecturally consistent mid-Victorian streets, 108 Northchurch Road is an end of terrace home that presents a rare and compelling design-and-build opportunity. The rendered image offers a preview of the home’s future—clean architectural lines, restored period detailing and an elevated, timeless aesthetic—while the expansive internal layout provides the perfect canvas for a bespoke, high-end transformation.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Arranged over four principal storeys and extending to approximately 2,319 sq ft, plus the potential for a large garden studio, the house combines impressive scale with the inherent charm of the De Beauvoir Estate’s original 19th-century architecture. In collaboration with a highly regarded North and East London developer, purchasers can tailor the interior to their exact vision—whether contemporary minimalism, refined period elegance or a warm, design-led family home.

On the lower ground floor, the floorplan lends itself naturally to a dramatic open-plan kitchen, dining and family room. Dual living spaces, a utility area and a plant room enable a highly functional yet beautifully designed level, with the opportunity for full rear glazing opening onto the garden.

The raised ground floor offers exceptional proportions: a 27-ft double reception room framed by tall sash windows, leading towards a rear study with views down into the atrium void and out to the garden. This level is the architectural heart of the home—ideal as a grand entertaining space or a series of refined living rooms.

The first floor is perfectly configured for a full principal suite. The existing layout includes a generous double bedroom, a walk-in wardrobe and a large bathroom positioned to the rear. A second double bedroom completes the level, offering excellent flexibility for family life or guest accommodation.

On the second floor, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom provide an ideal upper-floor retreat. A mezzanine level above offers an additional flexible area suitable for a shower room, study, reading space or dressing room—adding further architectural interest.

The 57-ft rear garden is an outstanding asset, leading to a self-contained studio at the far end. Spanning approximately 169 sq ft, it is perfectly suited to a home office, creative workspace, gym or guest suite—ideal for modern living requirements.

Set within the historic De Beauvoir Estate—land originally owned by the De Beauvoir family and laid out in the 1840s—the house sits within a beautifully preserved grid of tree-lined streets and distinguished period terraces. This property now provides the chance to reimagine a classic Victorian home with the support of an expert team, creating a highly personalised residence in one of Islington’s most desirable neighbourhoods.
