Cleveland Road, De Beauvoir, Islington, London, N1

An exceptional Victorian townhouse extending to close to 3000 sq ft, arranged across five beautifully considered floors within the East Canonbury Conservation Area. Elegant proportions, intricate period detailing and thoughtfully integrated contemporary finishes combine to create a refined family home of rare scale and character.

INSIDE

The raised ground floor is centred around a striking double reception room, where soaring ceiling heights, ornate cornicing, original fireplaces and exposed timber flooring set the tone. To the rear, a more informal breakfast room opens directly onto a private roof terrace, creating a natural extension of the entertaining space. The kitchen sits just below on the half landing, with direct access down to the garden.

Occupying the entirety of the first floor, the principal suite is particularly impressive — a beautifully composed space with detailed cornicing, panelling, exposed floorboards and a feature fireplace, alongside a walk-in wardrobe and elegant en-suite shower room. A further two generous double bedrooms are positioned on the second floor, both with en-suite shower rooms, while the upper floor provides an additional double bedroom with its own en-suite.

The lower ground floor has been configured as a self-contained one bedroom apartment with a private entrance and excellent ceiling heights throughout. Comprising a double bedroom, shower room, kitchen and an expansive reception/study space opening onto the rear garden, it offers exceptional flexibility for guests, independent living or workspace use.

Throughout the house, the quality of finish and sense of volume are immediately apparent, balancing the elegance of its Victorian origins with the practicality required for modern family living. Off-street parking to the front further enhances the rarity of the offering.
