6 Bedroom Terraced House

For sale by Allsop Auction on 25/06/2026 - A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial early Victorian freehold house extending to over 2,300 ft2, situated in the heart of De Beauvoir within the highly sought-after East Canonbury Conservation Area. Requiring complete renovation throughout, this impressive period property presents an exceptional chance to create a remarkable family home tailored to individual requirements.

Arranged across five storeys and accessed via either the raised ground or lower ground floor, the house has been extended to both the rear and into the loft, providing generous and versatile accommodation. A number of original period features remain intact, including decorative cornicing, sash windows and fireplaces, offering the perfect foundation for a sympathetic restoration that combines contemporary living with Victorian character. Downham Road occupies a prime position within De Beauvoir, one of North London's most desirable residential neighbourhoods. Renowned for its tree-lined streets, elegant period architecture and strong sense of community, De Beauvoir offers an appealing village atmosphere whilst remaining within easy reach of the City and central London. The area is home to an excellent selection of independent cafés, restaurants, gastropubs and local shops centred around De Beauvoir Road and nearby Southgate Road, while the vibrant amenities of Dalston, Islington and Shoreditch are all close by. Open green spaces include De Beauvoir Square, Shoreditch Park and the Regent's Canal towpath, providing attractive routes for walking and cycling. Haggerston Overground Station is approximately 0.4 miles away, providing direct services to Highbury & Islington, Whitechapel and Canada Water. Dalston Junction is approximately 0.7 miles away, while Essex Road Station is around 0.8 miles away. Numerous bus routes operate along Kingsland Road and Southgate Road, offering convenient access to the City, West End and beyond. Offered with no onward chain, this is an increasingly rare opportunity to restore and enhance a significant Victorian house in one of North London's most established and characterful conservation areas.
