Bespoke Joinery and Open-Plan Spaces in a Victorian Townhouse
Behind a quintessentially early Victorian facade with stucco, stock brick, and smart wrought-iron railings, 10 minutes from Regent’s Park lies a beautiful two-bedroom townhouse.
The townhouse has been beautifully renovated, preserving its Victorian origins while adding modern details throughout. The large original windows flood the space with natural light from the front and the back of the house, while a small decked garden serves as a serene private outdoor space.
The townhouse’s front door opens directly into the open-plan dining room and kitchen, featuring rich engineered oak floorboards and gray walls.
The kitchen is located at the back of the plan, overlooking the small garden. Classic, coft gray cabinets are paired with a concrete countertop and a butler sink under the sash window.
The combination of closed and open storage adds a playful touch, while a bar table along one wall adds a practical breakfast nook.
The front of the plan houses a dining table with bookshelves fitted in the niche. The gray walls are countered with a rich, ochre-yellow ceiling.
A traditional curved staircase with an elegant original handrail leads you to the first floor.
The first floor houses the living room and one of the bathrooms. Tall sash windows with newly installed wooden shutters let in plenty of natural light.
The room is centered around an ornate cast-iron fireplace in front of an exposed brick feature wall.
The walls are painted in ‘Lamp Room Gray’ by Farrow and Ball.
A sliding door opens onto a charming bathroom with Ketley Brick quarry tiles underfoot and off-white tiles along the walls.
The bathroom features a bespoke floating sink made by Vivari and fabricated by Counter Production in Corian with a clam-shell finish, as well as a spacious walk-in shower.
Moving on to the top floor, where you find the house’s two bedrooms and another bathroom.
The largest bedroom is located at the front of the plan, featuring large shuttered sash windows offering far-reaching views over London.
The master bedroom is fitted with beautiful bespoke wardrobes and a vanity table, painted in the same gray hue as the walls. A skylight floods the room with even more natural light.
The smaller bedroom is now used as a home office, featuring William Morris wallpaper.
The bathroom on this floor is designed in the same style as the larger one. It features a Japanese-style bath clad with square white brick tiles.
At the back of the house lies a small decked garden space with ivy growing around the high white-painted walls.
The house is listed for £1,495,000 at The Modern House.
