A Carefully Restored Edwardian Apartment with a Garden

Located on a quiet residential street in London lies this first-floor apartment in an early 20th-century Edwardian house. The current owners have carefully reinstated the Edwardian character, employing specialist conservation contractors that restored the original features.

The two-bedroom apartment features charming spaces with original elements like fireplaces, floorboards, and cornicing paired with antique furniture pieces. Despite being on the first floor, the apartment also has a charming private garden.

The sitting room lies at the front of the house, with a large windows facing south-west that offer plenty of natural light.

The room is centered around an antique cast-iron fireplace sourced by the current owners and flanked by niches furnished with antique cabinets and art.

A cornice curves around the walls, which are painted in Little Greene’s ‘Acorn’.

On the opposite side of the tiny living room is space for a small dining table.

The curtains feature the William Morris ‘Willow Bough’ pattern.

The kitchen lies on the other side of the apartment. With windows in two directions, it is a pleasantly bright space featuring another reclaimed cast-iron fireplace with a bullseye motif surround.

While there are many antique pieces in the apartment, the kitchen is surprisingly modern, with sleek white cabinet doors, white metro backsplash tiles, and blue skirting.

The apartment has two bedrooms. The largest one has plenty of storage in alcove-set cupboards on either side of a characterful cast-iron fireplace.

The second bedroom is a charming small space with white curtains next to the bed to create a cozy bed nook and an antique desk.

The small bathroom is painted in a marine blue shade paired with patterned floor tiles.

Stairs descend from the kitchen to the private garden with olive trees, wooden planters, roses, and a flagstone-laid area, creating a charming terrace.

The apartment is listed for £675,000 at Inigo.
