This Small Victorian Home Features Red Color Accents in Every Room

Close to some of Tottenham’s favorite parks, this Victorian house has the feel of a cottage in the city. The current owners have carefully restored its period features and made the room their own with playful color and pattern.

The 76-square-meter house offers comfortable social areas, including a separate dining room that opens onto the back garden. Upstairs, two double bedrooms and a generous bathroom make this the perfect home for a small family.

The living room is located at the front of the house, featuring a characteristic Victorian bay window that brings in plenty of natural light as well as offering views of the tree-lined street.

The living room is painted in a warm terracotta shade paired with hardwooden floors, creating a warm atmosphere.

The sitting room is centered around the original fireplace with blue-patterned tilework and flanked by two bookshelves in the alcoves.

Terracotta and blue shades found on the walls and the furniture return in the gallery wall above the sofa.

The hall features characteristic floor tiles (the London Town Geo Cherry from Baked Tiles).

Between the living room and the kitchen is a generous dining room featuring the same hardwood floors as the front room.

The room also features an original fireplace, adding historic character to the space.

But what stands out most in this room is the sunny-yellow joinery. It’s a great way to add color without painting the walls in expressive shades.

The kitchen adds a more modern look to the home. Red and white checkered floor tiles are paired with modern wooden cabinet doors, a gray counter, integrated appliances, and a small butler sink.

The handmade Mexican backsplash tiles (Anita blue sin marco by Milagros) add a cottage element to the space. They are the same tiles as the ones used by the living room fireplace.

Double doors in the dining room give access to the small back garden.

The secluded back garden is completely paved, with borders with planting and wooden fencing.

There is enough room for multiple seating areas (or a lawn if you prefer more greenery). A lovely extension to the modest living spaces.

The stair balustrade is painted in a warm red shade, matching the kitchen and hall floor tiles.

The upstairs features two bedrooms. The largest room occupies the full width of the house and faces the street with two large sash windows letting in plenty of natural light.

The room is painted in a soothing blue shade with red accents, a white former fireplace, and niches fitted with wooden dressers.

The second bedroom is painted in a warm, neutral shade that looks beautiful in combination with the wooden floorboards.

The pink clothing rack can be bought on Amazon.

The former fireplace is painted in another terracotta red shade, making red the accent color used throughout the home.

The spacious bathroom pairs a blue-green shade on the walls with burgundy tiles. A classic checkerboard floor lies underfoot, which is the same floor as the kitchen but in a different color.

The bathroom features a shower and a bath, as well as a generous built-in cabinet.

A dark green front door gives access to this charming Victorian house.

The house is listed for £675,000 at Brickworks.
