Restored Period Features and a Muted Color Palette in a London Home

This beautiful early 19th-century house lies in Whitechapel’s Myrdle Street conservation area in London. The three-bedroom home has been sympathetically preserved by the Spitalfields Trust, which restored fireplaces, floorboards, and sash windows to protect the home’s Georgian atmosphere.

The four-storey house lies at the end of a terrace block and also features a walled garden with planted flowers, herbs, apple and fern trees, as well as a garden studio which has been transformed into a guest house.
