A Charming Apartment in a Victorian Villa

In the Brockley Conservation Area in south London stands a handsome Victorian villa that houses this charming two-bedroom apartment. The 699 sq ft apartment was recently renovated, blending period features with contemporary design choices.

The apartment is located on the ground floor of the historic corner villa, backing onto a spacious communal garden. A muted natural color palette, light rooms, and period details turn this apartment into a charming home.

During the renovation, the living room was opened to create an open-plan social living room, kitchen, and dining space. The tripartite bay window with views out onto the gardens floods the room with light and shows the history of the building.

The sitting area is centered around a fireplace with a wooden mantel, and it’s decorated using earthy colors and the two rattan chairs add to the natural vibe of the room.

At the other end of the room is a simple kitchen with a wooden worktop and a combination of upper cabinets and shelves to keep an open feeling.

The entire apartment features wooden floorboards that add warmth to the rooms.

The master bedroom lies at the front of the apartment. The room features the original floorboards and a large sash window.

The walls in the bedroom are painted in the soft ‘Pink 01’ by Lick. 

The smallest bedroom is now used as a home office with walls painted in ‘Green 01’ by Lick and a door leading to the communal garden.

The WC is decorated in a cottage style with half-height butt-and-bead boarding and Ottoline’s ‘Little Wild Tulips’ wallpaper.

The apartment is listed for £515,000 at Inigo.
