A Pink Kitchen in a Beautifully Restored Victorian House
This two-bedroom Victorian terrace house in the Leytonstone area of London has been carefully renovated, creating warm and inviting interior spaces that feature beautiful Farrow & Ball & Little Greene hues.
This Victorian home features a thoughtful revival of period character where every detail has been considered, refined, and gently elevated for modern living. From the street, the façade sets a gracious tone. Warm London Stock brick, repointed in lime render, rises above a hand-laid mosaic path that guides you to the solid wood front door.
Like many Victorian homes, the house has a double reception room. The front room serves as the sitting room, featuring an oak mantelpiece, intricate moldings, a brass chandelier, and a bay window.
The walls and ceiling are painted in Farrow & Ball’s ‘Cardamon’, a rich brown inspired by the warming, versatile spice used in dishes around the world.
The fireplace is flanked by built-in bookshelves, and the sisal carpeting adds a natural vibe to the room.
The back room is now almost empty, but would work perfectly as a dining room, featuring a fluted fireplace, a soft color palette, a herringbone floor, and a sash window.
The staircase is decorated with antiques.
The kitchen brings a shift in mood, introducing bolder notes while maintaining the home’s warm, grounded elegance. Hand-painted cabinetry in deep Brinjal anchors the room, offset by solid oak worktops and brass detailing by deVOL.
A Butler sink sits beneath a row of windows, and beyond the French doors lies an Italian-inspired garden.
Upstairs, the landing continues the home’s soothing palette with paneling and warm off-White hues.
The master bedroom, painted in Little Greene’s ‘Invisible Green,’ is a study in restful luxury, complete with bespoke joinery and elegantly integrated wardrobes.
Despite the dark green hue on the walls, the room feels light thanks to two huge windows.
The smaller bedroom is adorned with Farrow & Ball wallpaper and warm, claret-toned joinery.
The bathroom feels lifted from a boutique townhouse hotel; it is classic, indulgent, and beautifully executed. Marble checkerboard flooring sets a refined foundation for the clawfoot tub, while antique brass fittings add a quiet shimmer.
A walk-in shower tiled in glossy green catches the light in rippling reflections, lending depth and a final touch of understated drama.
In the garden, limestone setts wander through planting that balances structure and movement, while salvia, verbena, and alliums offer color and sway across the seasons.
The solid wood front door sits beneath a French lantern, while wisteria and David Austin roses tumble across the garden wall, accompanied by generous clouds of Limelight hydrangeas.
The house is listed for £775,000 at The Stow Brothers.
