A London Terraced House with a Modern Kitchen Extension
On a quiet street in the east London suburb of Leyton stands this renovated and extended terrace house with bright rooms, a modern kitchen, and exposed brick walls.
The four-bedroom house was renovated by the architectural practice of Urban R+D, which extended the loft and the kitchen to create big, light, and modern interior spaces. The kitchen also opens up to a modern city garden which extends the living space even more.
The modest living room has a beautiful bay window and it’s centered around the raw brick fireplace. Three ply-edged, fluted-glass windows have been added to the wall between the living room and hallway to create lighter spaces.
The living room in the historic part of the house is modest in size, but by removing walls between the front and the extended back part of the house, they have created an open, spacious, and light living space.
The extended kitchen is a space where raw materials like the brick wall and exposed wooden ceiling are paired with a sleek kitchen design with black cabinets and a birch ply-backed quartz island.
The black and birch ply cabinets are paired with Claybrook backsplash tiles.
The master bedroom on the first floor features re-laid original pine floorboards, a black metal fireplace with exposed brick, and subtle lavender color accents.
Exposed brickwork is visible throughout the house, including the bathroom, where a freestanding bath sits under the window. Zellige tiles and brass fittings add a touch of luxury.
The staircase with bright yellow accents leads to the extended loft space with two additional bedrooms.
The loft bedroom features built-in wardrobes with an en suite shower and a WC behind a pocket door.
The shower with ribbed glass windows stands in the bedroom space.
The shower is clad with beautiful green tiles paired with brass fittings and a roof light, so it’s almost as if you’re showering outdoors.
The house is listed for £875,000 at The Modern House.
