Lawford Road, De Beauvoir, Hackney, London, N1

A handsome three-bedroom Victorian home on a quiet, tree-lined no-through road in De Beauvoir. Beautifully presented across three floors, the house brings together carefully preserved period details and thoughtful contemporary additions, with an impressive extended kitchen and dining room opening onto a mature, 38 ft private garden.

INSIDE

Set behind a planted front garden with a mature tree, the house is entered on the raised ground floor. A welcoming hallway introduces the generous ceiling heights, original arch and broad wooden floorboards that give the interiors their character.

The dual-aspect double reception room sits to one side, with tall windows drawing light through the space. Original room dividers, decorative coving and an ornate fireplace with a marble surround sit alongside wooden floorboards and shutters to the front. The west-facing aspect brings afternoon and evening light into the front reception, while the rear enjoys morning sunshine.

On the lower ground floor, a full-width rear extension creates a generous kitchen and dining space. Expansive glazing brings natural light deep into the room, with a floor-to-ceiling sliding glass door opening directly onto the garden. A sleek contemporary kitchen is complemented by exposed brickwork and large-format floor tiles, with underfloor heating throughout this level.

Outside, the paving echoes the kitchen flooring, creating a natural connection between the dining space and terrace. Extending to approximately 38 ft, the east-facing garden combines a lawn with mature trees, flowering herbs and established shrubs, providing a leafy, private setting for outdoor dining.

At the front of the lower ground floor, a further reception room offers flexibility as a third bedroom, with bespoke wooden window screens and views towards the front garden. A contemporary bathroom with a separate bath and shower completes this floor.

Two bright double bedrooms occupy the top floor, both with original wooden floorboards and built-in storage. They are served by a beautifully finished shower room, naturally lit by a large rooflight.
