Yeate Street, De Beauvoir, Islington, London, N1

A beautifully considered two-bedroom maisonette with a south-westerly private garden, arranged across the lower ground and raised ground floors of an attractive period building on a quiet residential street in De Beauvoir, with scope to extend, subject to the usual permissions.

Spanning in excess 800 sq ft internally, the home has been thoughtfully renovated throughout, balancing warm contemporary finishes with a calm, understated palette. Natural light moves easily through the property, particularly within the extended kitchen and dining space where large skylights and glazed doors draw the garden directly into the home.


INSIDE

Entry is via the lower ground floor where a generous reception room sits at the centre of the plan, creating a comfortable and well-balanced living space with bespoke shelving, soft neutral tones and painted timber flooring running throughout. To the rear, the kitchen and dining room has been opened and extended to create a striking entertaining space with direct access onto the garden. Deep plum-toned cabinetry is paired with rich timber worktops, open shelving and white tiled splashbacks, while oversized skylights above the dining area bring excellent natural light throughout the day.

The south-westerly garden extends to over 40 ft and has been landscaped with a paved dining terrace, lawn and planted borders, offering a genuine extension of the living space during warmer months.

The principal bedroom sits quietly to the front of the property and features extensive bespoke joinery and large sash windows overlooking the front garden. A modern bathroom at the rear of the lower floor, finished in a restrained contemporary style with bath and overhead shower. A second bedroom occupies the raised ground floor above, creating useful separation from the main living accommodation and lending itself equally well as a guest room, workspace or nursery.

Additional built-in storage is incorporated throughout and the property is presented in excellent condition.
