3 Bed Terraced House For Sale

Occupying a prominent position on a historic Georgian terrace in the De Beauvoir Conservation Area, this Grade II listed three-bedroom townhouse dates from 1820 and unfolds over four elegant storeys and over 1700 sq ft.



Set back from the road and entered through a classical portico, the house immediately establishes its character with its bow sash windows and arched-top balcony doors. Inside, original period detailing, soaring ceilings and intricate cornicing sits comfortably alongside a tactile palette of materials: exposed brickwork, steel-framed glazing, natural stone, and warm timber.



On the lower ground floor, a generous kitchen and dining space forms the heart of the home. Here, shaker-style navy cabinetry is paired with limestone flooring and brass hardware, all arranged around a handsome exposed-brick range. Crittall-style glazing subtly demarcates the adjoining dining space, where painted ceiling beams and a working fireplace add warmth. Every element feels intentional, nodding to the building's past while offering a practical and intimate setting for contemporary living.



The raised ground floor is given over to dual aspect reception rooms. Light moves easily through the eight-over-eight sash windows, through to the living room, illuminating the bullnose marble fireplace and ornate cornicing. Richly painted, the black hue on the walls provides a sense of warmth and retreat.



Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged across the upper levels, one with a balcony that looks out across the city skyline. Each room has been decorated with warm tones, natural textures and beautifully preserved period details creating a sense of calm. The principal bedroom suite is especially serene, opening onto a private balcony through tall doors flanked by original shutters. A panelled dressing area leads to the en suite bathroom, which has a raised roll-top bath with marble tiles running underfoot.



Outside, a south-facing walled garden extends from the rear of the house, with areas demarched for relaxing and dining. The established planting creates a sense of privacy and a rare, secluded pocket of green in this vibrant part of the city.



Positioned between the cultural energy of Dalston and the residential calm of Canonbury, Balls Pond Road offers a compelling mix of vibrancy and quiet charm. It's an area that balances architectural integrity with creative spirit, attracting a community that values both character and connection.



There's no shortage of places to start the day with a good coffee or slow brunch. Brunswick East, tucked inside the Dalston Curve Garden, is a local favourite, serving Allpress coffee alongside a thoughtful, Australian-inspired menu. The Dusty Knuckle on Green Lanes is both bakery and social enterprise - known for its sourdough and seasonal pastries, it's become something of a neighbourhood anchor.



Dining locally is just as considered. Primeur, set within a converted garage on Petherton Road, serves ingredient-led dishes on communal tables in a space that feels both elevated and understated. Perilla, a short walk away, offers modern European cooking with a restrained, confident touch. Mangal II and Tonkotsu East provide more relaxed alternatives, their loyal followings testament to their consistency and atmosphere.



Families in the area benefit from several well-regarded schools, both state and independent. St Paul's Steiner School, housed in an elegant listed building, offers an arts-led, holistic approach to education. Newington Green Parimary, St Jude and St Paul's CofE Primary School and Lady and St Joseph Catholic Primary School are all respected local primaries, while North Bridge House and Dallington School are accessible by bike or car.



Green space is plentiful. Highbury Fields, with its open lawns and tennis courts, offers a sense of grandeur, while London Fields and Clissold Park bring their own distinct rhythms - whether it's lido swims or quiet corners for reading. Closer still, De Beauvoir Square offers a more intimate kind of green, surrounded by some of the area's finest period architecture.



Transport links are excellent. Dalston Junction and Dalston Kingsland stations are both within easy walking distance, connecting to Shoreditch, Canada Water, and the Victoria line at Highbury & Islington. Bus routes are frequent and well-connected, and for cyclists, the area is crisscrossed by quietways that link seamlessly into the wider city network.
