5 Bed Semi-Detached House, De Beauvoir Square, N1

Overlooking De Beauvoir Square, this striking five-bedroom Jacobethan Mansion reaches almost 2,500 sq ft internally. Having undergone a full renovation by a team of skilled designers and makers this unusual townhouse has been transformed into an understated but grand home.

The house is set back from the square behind black wrought iron railings and a mature front garden. Its unusual Jacobethan façade is characterised by large leaded windows and steep roof gables. The entrance is up a sweeping set of stairs through a smart black front door.

The main reception rooms unfold to the right of the first floor, light pours in through the unusual openwork dual aspect windows. There are twin open fires at the front and back of this palatial room. There is the addition of a private study complete with bespoke cabinetry. Restored French Parquet runs underfoot throughout the first floor.

A set of sweet stripped back stairs lead down to the lower ground floor, the large kitchen and entertaining area have been cleverly designed around the bones of the house. The open fire and flagstone floor is reminiscent of a more rural setting. Through a set of French doors, the room opens out onto the large back garden. There is the addition of a useful utility room and garden store.

A winding staircase leads to the second floor and the master bedroom with its beautifully designed en-suite bathroom complete with a roll-top bath. A further double bedroom and a single bedroom with views over the leafy garden. Up another flight of stairs, you reach the third floor, two characterful double bedrooms and the house bathroom which echoes the style of the rest of the house with beautiful reclaimed fittings and a cast iron bath.

The property is on the quieter western section of the square, within 500m of both Haggerston and Dalston stations on the East London and London Overground lines. Southgate Road to the North offers a lively array of independent shops, pubs and restaurants. The eponymous De Beauvoir Deli and De Beauvoir arms are ever popular with locals.

The house is available unfurnished from mid-March. Not looking to rent to sharers.
