Serene Interiors in a Beautiful Renovated Family Home in London
This Victorian terrace house in the Stoke Newington neighborhood in London has been carefully renovated, creating serene living spaces, four bedrooms, and a lovely garden.
The interiors in this historic home convey a wonderful sense of calm. The walls are painted in neutral beige shades, with the occasional pastel or blue accent.
During the recent renovation, the original sash windows were double-glazed, solid oak floors were laid throughout, new cast-iron and joinery were fitted, and a new kitchen and bathroom were added to the home.
The double reception room features a calm sitting room at the front of the house, featuring a charming bay window with wooden shutters.
The room is centered around a fireplace framed by the original marble surround. It is flanked by built-in bookshelves for a nice, lived-in look.
The sitting room features two blue Cape Lounge Chairs of the Danish design brand Warm Nordic, designed by Charlotte Høncke.
The back room is used as a dining room, featuring a large wooden table, a beautiful herringbone parquet floor, and a large sash window looking out over the garden.
The extended back of the house features a kitchen with large glass doors that can be fully opened, connecting the indoors with the back garden.
The black kitchen cabinets are paired with quartz counters and a Britannia range.
The back garden becomes a natural extension of the living spaces in the warmer months.
Large tiles provide plenty of space for a table and lounge furniture. It is surrounded by mature plantings, including fatsia, Italian laurel, a magnolia tree, jasmine, and Japanese anemone.
The first floor is home to two bedrooms. The large bedroom is located at the front of the house, featuring built-in wardrobes and two sash windows.
The bedroom features a beautiful, arched rattan floor mirror.
The second bedroom on this floor is now a charming nursery, with the calm beige shades on the walls paired with a hand-painted mural and an original cast-iron fireplace.
The family bathroom breaks away from the beige shades in the rest of the house. The crisp white room features a double-ended slipper bath, a walk-in shower, and a ceramic terrazzo tile floor.
A laundry room is nicely tucked away on the first-floor landing.
A beautiful staircase with a woolen runner curves through the house.
There are two more bedrooms on the upper floor. One is fitted with built-in wardrobes on either side of the bed.
The other light-filled room on the upper floor is used as a home office and features a beautiful black fireplace with emerald tiles.
A coral-pink front door gives access to the serene home.
The house is listed for £1,750,000 at The Modern House.
