Downham Road, De Beauvoir, N1

Welcome to this exceptional property, offering expansive studio-workspace rarely found in London, paired with a charming Victorian home in De Beauvoir, one of East London’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.

This unique property features two studio spaces: a detached workshop at the bottom of the garden with 5-metre-high ceilings, a kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom, all with great natural light, and an elegant brickwork façade adorned with wisteria. A second studio is attached to the main house, adding an additional 35m² of flexible office space that could be re-incorporated into the main house if desired.

Step inside to discover a home filled with character and comfort. The property spans three levels, offering three spacious bedrooms. The large open-plan kitchen and dining room on the lower level open onto a stunning private courtyard garden. The raised ground floor houses a double reception room, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The family bathroom is conveniently located on the half-landing, with two additional bedrooms on the upper floor. Although now lapsed, the property has previously had planning permission granted for an extension over the side studio, allowing for the creation of an additional bedroom and bathroom.

The building itself is a testament to Victorian architecture, showcasing exquisite period features such as high ceilings, ornate cornicing, and large sash windows. The private courtyard garden is a peaceful retreat, ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation, featuring mature trees and a side gate to a quiet, tree-lined, residential side road.

De Beauvoir is a vibrant area renowned for its strong artist community, great pubs, and excellent selection of independent coffee shops. Enjoy the cultural richness of nearby Southgate Road, boasting two theatre pubs: The Rosemary Branch and The De Beauvoir Arms, and the much loved De Beauvoir Deli. Additionally, local favourites such as the N1 Garden Centre and Towpath Café add to the charm of the neighbourhood.
