A Beautiful London Family Home with Colorful Accents
This Georgian villa in the Brixton Road Conservation Area in London was recently renovated and restored by award-winning architects OMMX. The five-bedroom historic house unfolds across a symmetrical floor plan thanks to its rare double-fronted facade.
The 159 sq meter (1712 sq ft) family home perfectly blends historic features with contemporary additions, including bold color accents and custom-made joinery. The back of the house has been extended to add a stunning sunny garden room.
To the left of the central house lies the open-plan living room and home office. The double-aspect configuration allows light to flood into these rooms from the front and the back. The sash windows are restored to their Georgian archetype and fitted with revived original wooden shutters.
The sitting room is painted in a calm light teal shade and fitted with a bespoke joinery piece which hides the television.
The office/library space at the back is painted in a contrasting dark blue shade with a white-painted oval that emulates a ceiling rose. The room is surrounded by bookshelves which creates such a cozy look.
The kitchen features tongue and groove style cabinets in two stunning green tones which are topped by a brushed steel worktop.
The dining room flows into the garden room, which has a pitched ceiling, huge windows, and soft yellow walls.
The floor-to-ceiling glazed door pivots into the garden, which is leveled with the room to create a seamless indoor/outdoor feeling.
You enter the house in this sunny hallway with yellow-painted walls and ceiling. Here, you can see the original wide plank wooden floorboards, which are found in all rooms of the ground floor.
The first floor is home to four double bedrooms which are each decorated in their own color palette and feature handmade blinds to complement the color style.
The bathroom on the right can be found on the ground floor.
The first children’s room features the ‘African Father’ wallpaper from Charlotte Gaisford. The pattern was also used for the fabric of the blinds.
The second children’s room features a bold colorful wallpaper and blue fireplace mantel.
The bathroom features matt off-white tiles, brass accents, and a sunny yellow striped curtain.
The path to the front door has vegetable beds on either side. Jasmine climbs over the front door which is painted in ‘Obsidian Green’ by Little Greene.
The house is listed for £2,250,000 at The Modern House.
