A Bronze Kitchen in a Harmonious Edwardian Apartment with a Private Garden

On the second floor of an Edwardian terrace house on Walthamstow’s Warner Estate, this three-bedroom apartment brings together the quiet character of a 1920s home and a garden filled with roses, fruit trees, and fragrant honeysuckle.

Original pine floorboards, waxed terracotta tiles, and carefully chosen colors give the interiors a warm, settled feel, while a wrought-iron staircase connects the kitchen to the abundant greenery below.

The living room and kitchen are located at the back of the house overlooking the private garden. In this room, the walls, picture rails, and original cabinetry are painted in “Cass” by Atelier Ellis. The room is centered around a wood-burning stove.

Double-glazed Crittall-style windows by Fabco, installed throughout the apartment to complement the terrace’s original design, bring daylight into the space.

An archway creates a social connection to the kitchen, while still maintaining its own character.

The kitchen features cabinetry painted in “Bronze” by Paint & Paper Library paired with the original waxed terracotta floor.

The cabinets are paired with a deep Belfast sink and a brushed brass tap by Studio Ore. Open shelves provide space for everyday cookware and favorite ceramics.

Across the hallway, the dining room enjoys views over the green through two generous windows.

The tiled 1920s fireplace adds a nice period detail to the room.

The apartment features three double bedrooms. The master bedroom features built-in wardrobes and a window overlooking the pink-blossoming trees.

Original stripped-pine doors give access to the bedrooms. One of which features a Victorian cast-iron fireplace.

The bathroom is finished with floor-to-ceiling white tiles and a combined bath and shower with a Hansgrohe rain-style shower.

Outside, the garden unfolds around a central lawn, enclosed by apple, quince and blossom trees. White-flowering hydrangea drapes the staircase, while honeysuckle and David Austin roses climb the fences.

A patio beside the lawn offers space for outdoor meals among purple campanula, lavender and flowering herbs.

The planting brings successive waves of color, with anemones, delphiniums, peonies, poppies and salvia providing nectar for visiting bees. A small pond attracts birds and other wildlife, adding another layer of life to the garden.

Across the lawn are a wood store, a shed and a summerhouse topped with a sedum roof, currently used as a studio.

Entry to the apartment is through this paneled front door, painted in “Bronze” by Paint & Paper Library and fitted with Banham hardware.

Built in 1925, the terrace belongs to a later chapter of the Warner Estate’s history. The first Warner homes were developed to accommodate Walthamstow’s growing population following the arrival of the railway in 1840.

When construction resumed after the First World War, the garden city movement helped shape a more spacious approach, with larger apartments arranged around communal greens.

Here, a restrained brick façade and Crittall-style windows reflect that shift, while decorative chimney pots and exposed rafters retain echoes of Victorian design.

The apartment is listed for £625.000 at Inigo.
