Named after the peaceful neighbourhood, between Islington and Dalston, in which it sits, De Beauvoir Court was built in 1938 as accommodation for local members of the clergy. This particular apartment occupies an excellent position on the first floor of the block, allowing natural light to pour across the plan through dual aspect windows to the north and east.
