Tucked away in a discreet, pedestrian-only mews between Essex Road and Southgate Road, this two-storey modern house offers rare privacy and contemporary design in the heart of De Beauvoir. Completed within a boutique collection of architect-designed homes, No. 5 combines thoughtful detailing with excellent natural light, a private patio, and two generous double bedrooms.

INSIDE

Arranged across 993 sq ft, the house is introduced by a bright entrance hall with full-height frosted glazing that creates both privacy and softness. Oak flooring runs throughout the ground floor, leading into a spacious reception room spanning over 21 ft. With its textured feature wall, warm natural light and flexible layout, the space works equally well for everyday living and larger gatherings.

The kitchen sits to the rear—an inviting, social space with integrated appliances, ample storage and a pleasant connection to the outside. Sliding glass doors open directly to the private and patio, encouraging seamless indoor–outdoor living and useful additional dining space in warmer months.
The private patio is arranged as a sheltered courtyard framed by brickwork and perforated detailing—ideal for morning coffee, planting, or a small outdoor dining set. The mews itself is beautifully quiet, accessed only on foot, with attractive landscaping and modern brick façades creating a calm sense of place. A guest WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, two comfortable double bedrooms sit beneath excellent ceiling heights. The main bedroom enjoys a peaceful outlook down the cobbled mews through full-height glazing, while the second bedroom is similarly well-proportioned and quietly set to the rear. A contemporary family bathroom finishes the level, featuring large-format grey tiling, a rain shower and clean modern fittings.
