A Victorian Family Home with a Striking Green Extension

Situated just a short stroll from the lively atmosphere of Muswell Hill in London, this exceptional three-bedroom semi-detached Victorian house has been beautifully renovated into a charming family home.

Arranged over two floors, the house seamlessly blends elegant period charm with contemporary design. Boasting high ceilings, an abundance of original Victorian features, and wonderfully bright spaces, the home has been thoughtfully enhanced with luxurious finishes.

The heart of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space showcasing a bespoke Plain English handmade kitchen with concrete worktops.

Multiple skylights and Crittall-style doors leading to the garden turn this extension into a wonderfully bright space. The kitchen island forms the central gathering point, while the dining table and seating makes this the perfect family room.

The herringbone parquet floor and the wall paneling are elements that match the Victorian building style really well. A large floor-to-ceiling picture window overlooks the garden.

A niche in the kitchen has been turned into a practical pantry space. Painted in a warm, ochre-yellow hue and featuring wooden shelves and colorful skirting, this area keeps the main kitchen space clutter-free.

Tucked between the kitchen and the front sitting room lies a spacious utility room that can also be used as a home office.

The house has two bathrooms, one on each floor, featuring Fired Earth tiles and Aston Matthews sanitaryware.

At the front of the plan lies a charming sitting room, centered around a fireplace, and featuring a traditional bay window. The moldings and ceiling rosette give this room a typically Victorian feel.

Upstairs are three bedrooms. The largest room is painted white with beige joinery and floor-to-ceiling built-in wardrobes. Another fireplace adds a Victorian touch to the space.

The second bedroom is a children’s room with a sisal carpet on the floor, a marble fireplace, and blue wardrobes.

The smallest bedroom is painted in a dusty pink shade, featuring the original timber floorboards and a fireplace, in this room you really see the home’s historic bones.

The first floor features a narrow bathroom with half-paneled walls, a blue-and-white checkered floor, and a freestanding bath.

I like the detail of the tilework under the window.

At the back of the house lies a spacious garden with a stone patio and a lawn.

The exterior of the kitchen extension is clad with striking green Mandarin tiles.

The house is listed for £1,500,000 at Tatlers.
