Their design includes a pioneering rear extension and carefully engineered garden excavation, incorporating glazed boundaries to maximise natural light while avoiding any sense of a lowered ground floor—an approach that is both innovative and rarely achieved locally.Accommodation is arranged across the upper floors, comprising four well-proportioned bedrooms and two contemporary bath/shower rooms. The principal suite occupies the top floor and benefits from uniquely elevated post-war window proportions, affording excellent natural light, far-reaching sky views and a high degree of privacy—an uncommon advantage compared to neighbouring homes.A particularly notable feature is the provision of a WC on every floor. In an area where planning restrictions often prevent such additions—and where many comparable houses have only a single bathroom or must sacrifice bedroom space—this thoughtful configuration significantly enhances day-to-day living and sets the property apart.Throughout, the house balances elegance with ingenuity, including bespoke details such as a concealed chinoiserie panel in the ground floor bathroom, revealing generous hidden storage.Ufton Grove is superbly positioned for access to Haggerston and Dalston Junction Overground stations, with Canonbury and Essex Road also within easy reach, providing swift connections to Shoreditch, the City and Canary Wharf. The independent cafés, restaurants and amenities of Southgate Road and Essex Road are nearby, along with the open green spaces of De Beauvoir Square, Rosemary Gardens, Shoreditch Park and the Regent’s Canal. De Beauvoir combines a quiet, village-like setting with immediate access to some of East London’s most popular independent spots, including De Beauvoir Deli, Sappe, and nearby canal-side favourites, alongside local pubs such as The De Beauvoir Arms. Just moments from Shoreditch and Islington, it offers a rare balance of calm residential living and vibrant café, dining and nightlife on the doorstep.Lovingly maintained for over 25 years, this is a rare and exceptional home—offering architectural distinction, outstanding specification and beautifully considered family living in one of Islington’s most desirable enclaves.
