Downham Road, London, N1
Set on a quiet, tree-lined residential road, moments from the wealth of amenities that De Beauvoir has to offer, is this splendid three-bedroom early Victorian upper maisonette, which also boasts its own private section of garden.
Located on a peaceful stretch of this attractive residential street, yet only moments from the array of independent shops, cafés and restaurants that De Beauvoir is renowned for, this charming three double bedroom Victorian maisonette combines character, space and convenience along with great kerb appeal with a mature wisteria plant to the front of the property.
Rich in period charm, the property benefits from its own private entrance on the raised ground floor, opening into a beautiful hallway with impressive ceiling height, original wooden flooring and an abundance of natural light from the floor to ceiling sash window on the stairwell, immediately setting the tone for this handsome home. To the right of the entrance hall is the glorious reception room, flooded with natural light from the large sash window overlooking the fine Victorian homes found on Downham Road. This elegant space features decorative coving, a charming fireplace with a beautiful mantelpiece and original wooden floorboards.
Situated on the first floor, with verdant views over the rear garden and mature trees, is the stylish kitchen diner, which offers ample space for entertaining and hosting guests. The kitchen is finished with dark blue base units complemented by Quartz worktops. Adjacent to the kitchen is a generous double bedroom featuring a pretty gas fireplace and wooden flooring, enjoying views over the quiet, tree lined street. The first floor also accommodates the family bathroom and a separate WC. Occupying the top floor are two further double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from a stylish en suite bathroom and a partially vaulted ceiling. Both bedrooms enjoy delightful views across the treetops and rooftops of De Beauvoir.
The garden has been lovingly enhanced by the current owner and provides a true oasis, offering a remarkably private and peaceful setting surrounded by mature trees and neighbouring gardens.
On your doorstep are several local favourites, including De Beauvoir Deli, The De Beauvoir Arms, Day Trip, Sweet Thursday, Trade, The Brave, The Scolt Head and The Baring, to name but a few. In the opposite direction lies Canonbury, offering scenic walks along the New River Path, as well as a wonderful selection of amenities and popular local pubs, including The Marquess Tavern, The Myddelton Arms and The Compton Arms. Furthermore, the property is within walking distance of Regents Canal, Upper Street, Cross Street and Camden Passage, all of which offer an excellent array of bars, restaurants and delicatessens.
There are excellent bus links to and from the City via Southgate Road and New North Road. Essex Road railway station, with direct services to Moorgate, is a short walk away. Highbury & Islington station (Victoria Line and London Overground), Angel station and Haggerston station (London Overground) are also within easy reach.
