Downham Road, London, N1

This four bedroom, four bathroom period house is set over four well-proportioned floors on Downham Road in De Beauvoir, N1. The property has been owned and maintained by the current owner for fourteen years and has been updated throughout with a focus on quality and practicality.

The house is arranged to offer generous, versatile living space suited to family life, entertaining and working from home. The ground floor features a formal reception room, while the lower ground floor serves as the heart of the home, housing a sleek kitchen fitted two years ago with German granite worktops, an integrated boiling water tap and a Rangemaster range cooker. This floor also includes a dedicated dining area that opens directly to the rear garden, creating a perfect flow for indoor-outdoor living.

The lower ground floor has underfloor heating and Tobacco Oak flooring runs throughout the property. Wiring and pipework have been concealed throughout for a clean, finished look. A Megaflow system has been installed, improving water pressure so that multiple bathrooms can be used simultaneously without loss of flow. The boiler was replaced three years ago and most of the property has double glazing with a long-term guarantee.

There are four bathrooms in total, serving the four bedrooms spread across the upper levels. The principal bedroom suite is a highlight, featuring a sophisticated open-plan layout that includes a freestanding bathtub positioned within the room itself.

To the rear, there is a private garden with a shed that has both lighting and heating, suitable as extra storage, a workspace or a studio.
