Exceptionally Large Two Bedroom Garden Maisonette in Prime De Beauvoir Location

Description

This exceptionally large two double bedroom maisonette occupies the raised and lower ground floors of a wider than average semi-detached Victorian building and offers outstanding space rarely seen in De Beauvoir.

Throughout the property there is a strong sense of volume and scale, enhanced by high ceilings and a wealth of retained period features. The raised ground floor provides an expansive reception room to the front which flows semi open plan into a substantial dining area, creating an impressive and flexible entertaining space. Original fireplaces, ornate coving and ceiling roses remain intact, adding character and charm. A separate kitchen is accessed from the dining room, along with a guest W.C.

The lower ground floor continues the sense of space with two exceptionally large double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a notably generous utility room which serves as a major selling point. This room provides excellent storage, laundry space and day to day practicality that is rarely available in properties of this type. Much of this level is finished with attractive parquet flooring, adding warmth and continuity.

The property also benefits from sole use of a private rear garden measuring approximately 44ft, offering a valuable outdoor extension to the living space. A further benefit of the property is the inclusion of a share of freehold, offering long term security and added appeal for prospective purchasers and has approved planning permissions (from Islington Council) for a single-storey rear extension as well as a garden office.
