A rare architectural home in the heart of Islington
Tucked quietly behind Upper Street and the tranquil church gardens, this beautifully reimagined Georgian townhouse offers the perfect blend of heritage charm and modern design. Thoughtfully redesigned in collaboration with award-winning Studio M R, the property was stripped back to its shell in 2016. A rear extension and additional fifth floor were added, transforming the house into a refined, light-filled home set across five impeccably finished levels.

At the heart of the home is a bespoke Roundhouse kitchen complete with Siemens and Miele appliances, stone worktops and a central island. The space flows effortlessly into a dining and garden room with Crittall doors opening to a landscaped courtyard. Elegant dual reception rooms sit above, framed by original steel-framed glazing and high ceilings.
Each of the three double bedrooms is positioned on its own floor and features a luxurious en suite bathroom finished with premium Italian tiles, fittings, and underfloor heating. Two of the rooms are of principal suite standard, offering excellent flexibility for guests or family living.
The entire home is underpinned by integrated smart-home technology, with a central rack system discreetly linking lighting, sound, security, and media. Sonos zones, Rako mood lighting and ceiling speakers create seamless control and atmosphere throughout.
Location
The setting is truly special—peaceful, green and almost hidden, yet right in the heart of Islington. Dagmar Terrace sits just behind Upper Street but avoids through traffic, giving it a quiet, almost village-like atmosphere. With no houses directly opposite front or back, and surrounded by gardens and mature trees, the home offers remarkable privacy and serenity for such a central London location.
Though the landscaped courtyard garden is more compact—prioritised for increased interior space—it remains a tranquil and beautifully designed outdoor retreat.
Just minutes from Highbury & Islington (Victoria Line and Overground), Angel (Northern Line), and Essex Road (National Rail), and within easy reach of King's Cross/St Pancras, this is a home that offers effortless access to both local delights and international destinations.
