Behind its refurbished Victorian facade, this Greater London Victorian home holds a surprise. From the moment you step inside, the graphic tiles hint at a cheerful personality. The cement tiles floor alternate between blue, black and white, and the restored moldings tell the story of the past. It is a home with a distinct style where nothing is left to chance. And as you step further inside, you discover what couldn’t be guessed from the outside: a contemporary extension overlooking the garden, which completely transforms this family home.

 

A tour of the house

First, you’ll discover the living room with its taupe walls and quintessentially English elegance, featuring a cast-iron fireplace with a black and white tiled floor. The room opens onto the kitchen located in the extension. Light flows through the space, and the view extends all the way to the backyard and the dining room on the terrace. The kitchen and dining area form a true “family room.” It features a bolder aesthetic with its brick-red walls, which highlight the light birch furniture and unique brass countertops. The space is complemented by a zellige backsplash that adds subtle texture.

On the ceiling, a black beam creates a graphic line. Light floods in thanks to the windows and well-placed skylights. The kitchen, dining room, and living area share the same warm atmosphere.

Upstairs, the bedrooms feature different colors to create personalized atmospheres. The bathroom floor is covered in terrazzo. At the rear, the garden is very pleasant with its plantings and mature trees. A terrace features an outdoor dining area, flowing seamlessly from the kitchen and accessible through the bay window. Thanks to the construction of this addition, the house has become more comfortable and makes the most of its garden.
