An exceptional mid-terrace Victorian house, dating back to 1840 and set on one of De Beauvoir’s most desirable streets. Extending to approximately 2,067 sq ft, this elegant home blends period grandeur with modern living, and was once the residence of the renowned George Leybourne adding a rare sense of history and provenance.
Arranged over four floors, the property offers beautifully balanced accommodation. The raised ground floor features two impressive reception rooms with high ceilings, original detailing and excellent natural light-ideal for both entertaining and everyday living.
The lower ground floor forms the heart of the home, with a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area that opens directly onto a private, landscaped garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
Upstairs, there are three generous double bedrooms. The principal suite occupies the first floor, complete with a dressing room and a substantial bathroom, offering a calm and refined retreat.
Englefield Road sits within the sought-after De Beauvoir conservation area, known for its village feel and strong sense of community. Excellent local amenities include independent cafés, restaurants and pubs, while Upper Street, Essex Road and Dalston are all within easy reach. Shoreditch Park and the Regent’s Canal are close by, and transport links are superb, with Highbury & Islington, Canonbury and Haggerston stations providing swift access across London.
A rare opportunity to acquire a characterful and historically significant home in one of London’s most desirable settings.
