A Natural Palette and a Conservatory Extension Connect the Interiors with the Outdoors

This two-bedroom garden apartment, located on the ground floor of a Victorian terrace house in south-east London, showcases the beauty of connecting indoor spaces with a lush outdoor space.

The interiors have been carefully renovated in recent years, adding a natural color and material palette that complements the apartment’s Victorian bones, while also bringing a bit of the outdoors inside.

The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living room is the heart of this 75 square meter apartment. Despite being open-plan, it has distinct zones for lounging, cooking, and dining.

The absolute highlight of this apartment is the conservatory extension with abundant glazing that opens onto a lush garden. The exposed brick wall showcases the Victorian bones, while the glazing and plants make you feel connected to the outdoors.

In the summer months with the doors open, the garden becomes a natural extension of the living space. But in the colder months, this must also be such an amazing space with rain clattering on the glass ceiling and falling leaves adding color.

The kitchen features off-white shaker-style cabinets topped with a black granite countertop and gray backsplash tiles. A farmhouse sink is placed under the window.

The dining area is tucked under the large bay window, overlooking a quiet corner of the garden.

Wooden benches instead of chairs make this corner feel less cluttered, and the plaster pink walls and bamboo blinds add a natural touch.

The hall with plaster walls and wooden floorboards brings you to the front of the house.

In the hall, a Gothic-style arched window gives a glimpse of the front room that can be used as a sitting room or as a second bedroom.

The front room features beautiful period elements such as a cast-iron fireplace with alcoves on either side, a large bay window with shutters, and the original ceiling rose and cornices.

The room is painted using contrasting colors, with a light beige hue on the walls that makes the dark gray bay window and black fireplace stand out.

The principal bedroom is tucked between the front room and the bathroom. The walls are painted in “Red Earth” by Farrow & Ball, complemented by dark joinery, similar to the front room.

The former fireplace is fitted with shelves, while the alcoves are fitted with two double wardrobes.

The bedroom also opens onto the garden via a Crittal-style glazed door.

The bathroom also features a natural palette of beige and blue tilework paired with a blue vanity cabinet topped with marble.

The lush back garden is densely planted, featuring a raised patio as well as dedicated areas for lounging and sitting. Mature trees along the edges create a sense of privacy.

At the foot of the garden, a spacious home office has been built with wooden walls and ochre vinyl peel-and-stick floor tiles by Zazous.

The apartment is listed for £650.000 at Inigo.
