A Beautiful Extended Victorian Family Home in London
On the corner of Millfields Park in the London neighborhood, Lower Clapton, stands this four-story Victorian house that has been renovated and extended by its current architect owners.
The owners turned the historic house into a 1789 square feet home, maximizing the layout by extending the rear to create a contemporary kitchen space and the top floor to create a new bedroom suite.
The entire ground floor is home to an open-plan living space with a seating area in the front, a dining room in the center, and an extended kitchen in the back. The entire space features a wide plank herringbone floor and a light gray color on the walls.
The dining room sits at the center of the ground floor plan and features a sleek dining table that seats eight. The dining and living room can be closed off from the kitchen with Crittall-style glaze doors.
The kitchen features shaker-style cabinets painted in a muted teal shade paired with brass fittings and Corian worktops. A kitchen island stands in the center of the room, which has space for two bar stools. On the floor lie patterned claybrook tiles.
Glass doors can be opened up to extend the kitchen living space to the garden in the warmer months.
There is a utility room on the first floor with black cabinets, blue-green hexagon green tiles, and the Savuti Monkey Wallpaper by Ebony Rose Interiors.
The master bedroom lies on the first floor featuring light gray walls and floor-to-ceiling wardrobes. The room has its own en-suite bathroom with a freestanding bath and a shower.
The en-suite bathroom features a cast iron bath under the window, a walk-in shower, herringbone floor tiles, and green wall tiles. There is a double sink with black fittings and plenty of storage in oak cabinets.
The biggest bedroom on the upper ground floor has blue-gray walls, a large bay window, and it own en-suite bathroom with a shower.
The nursery is decorated with the ‘Hidden Paradise’ wallpaper designed by Kathryn Jones.
The new top floor bathroom is painted in a soft pink shade and features a handpainted wallpaper by Ananbo.
The en-suite bathroom has a combined bath and shower with zellige tiles and pink and white floor tiles.
The house is listed for £1,800,000 at The Modern House.
