Jackson Road, Islington, N7

An immaculate and beautifully considered three/four-bedroom Victorian house, thoughtfully redesigned by Trevor Brown Architects to create a sophisticated family home that combines contemporary design with the character and craftsmanship of the original period property.

The house has been carefully restored throughout, retaining a wealth of original features including exposed original floorboards, decorative cornicing, ceiling roses, sash windows and fireplaces. These period details sit comfortably alongside a high-quality contemporary specification, creating a home that feels both timeless and distinctly modern. The ground floor opens directly into the impressive principal living space, where two original reception rooms have been opened up to create one generous room with an impressive 3m ceiling height. Original cornicing and a ceiling rose provide a beautiful focal point, complemented by the fireplace and tall sash windows. To the rear, a striking architect-designed extension creates a light-filled kitchen and dining space, with skylights drawing natural light deep into the house. The kitchen has been finished to a high specification with a Quooker boiling-water tap and integrated Miele appliances, while bi-folding doors open directly onto the garden, creating an effortless connection between the house and outside space. The garden extends to approximately 45 feet, faces west and provides an excellent private outdoor space for entertaining, relaxing and family life. A useful garden shed is positioned at the far end. Also on the ground floor is a guest cloakroom and useful under-stairs storage. The first floor is arranged around a half landing with a beautifully appointed four-piece family bathroom, together with the utility facilities. To the front is a versatile reception room, currently used as an additional sitting room, which could readily be converted to create a substantial fourth bedroom if required. A further double bedroom occupies the rear of this floor. The second floor is home to the principal bedroom, which benefits from bespoke fitted wardrobes and a generous en-suite bathroom. Bespoke joinery has been thoughtfully incorporated throughout the bedrooms, maximising storage while maintaining the clean, cohesive aesthetic of the house. The top floor provides a further bedroom with skylights, its own en-suite bathroom and the rare benefit of two private terraces, positioned to the front and rear. The bathrooms throughout have been finished to a similarly high standard, featuring Lusso Stone sanitaryware and Mandarin Stone tiling. The result is an exceptional Victorian home in which the original architecture has been sensitively preserved while every modern requirement has been carefully considered. With its flexible three/four-bedroom accommodation, beautifully designed extension, high-quality specification and west-facing 45-foot garden, this is a turnkey home with genuine architectural appeal.
