An Extended Victorian Family Home with a Blue deVOL Kitchen

Behind a handsome Victorian facade in London’s sought-after London Fields conservation area, this beautifully renovated 1860s home offers a seamless blend of historic character and contemporary living.

Thoughtfully redesigned by Get Turner, the house has been carefully updated and extended to preserve its period charm while introducing modern spaces that feel bright, welcoming, and connected to the garden.

Shelves instead of upper cabinets create a more airy feeling without losing storage space. It’s also a great opportunity to add personality to the kitchen space.
