A Light-Filled Maisonette Home in London

In the Brockley area in London stands a beautiful light-filled maisonette home. The two-bedroom house was built in the 19th century and features typical Victorian features.

The current owners have carefully restored the Victorian house, incorporating new elements that fit right with the original historic features. The rooms are flooded with natural light thanks to the large Victorian sash windows.

The 70 square meter apartment is divided over two floors, with an open plan living room, kitchen, and the first bedroom on the lower floor. On the second floor lies the other bedroom and the house’s bathroom.

At the front of the house lies a generous open-plan living room and kitchen. Two large sash windows flood the room with light onto the weathered pine floorboards.

You can see that this is a room for entertaining as a large wooden dining table sits in the center of the room. With two benches instead of chairs on the long side of the table, it doesn’t feel too big for the room.

A nook in the room is now home to the kitchen with dark gray painted cabinets, a solid oak worktop, and a Belfast sink.

There’s no door between the living room and hallway which adds an open feeling to the spaces.
