A Charming Light Edwardian House with a Tiny Garden
This three-bedroom Edwardian house near Shepherd’s Bush in London has been sensitively renovated, adding a light, neutral color scheme and natural materials. The house features original elements, like the wooden staircase, fireplaces, and original windows. These period features have been paired with contemporary elements that suit perfectly with the historic bones.
The ground floor is home to an open-plan living space running the entire length of the house. With windows in two directions, the space is wonderfully bright, which is enhanced by the white color palette on the walls and ceiling.
Simple white-washed walls and contrasting textured engineered oak floorboards form the perfect base for the interiors. The owners decorated the room, making sure that the sightline from front to back was kept open to maximize the feeling of space.
At the front of the house is a cozy sitting area with bookcases flanking the former fireplace. White shutters in front of the window offer privacy when needed.
At the back of the house lies the dining area and kitchen, connecting to the tiny back garden.
The dining area is a lovely combination of old and new (just like the rest of the house). An antique wooden table is paired with colorful Eames chairs.
The house has a modest kitchen designed in an L-shape with a breakfast bar dividing the kitchen from the dining area. The modern light gray cabinets are paired with aged brass fittings and a Caesarstone countertop.
The original staircase leads you to the first foor with three bedrooms and a family bathroom. All bedrooms are painted in light, muted hues like sage and beige.
The family bathroom is designed in a classic black and white color scheme with white subway tiles and tiny black hexagon tiles surrounding the bath. The black fittings are stylish and suite the color scheme of the room.
The tiny bedroom on the first floor is turned into a small home office with a long, narrow window overlooking the street with Edwardian houses.
The top floor is turned into a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom. The room is light thanks to French doors that offer view of the rooftops. One wall is fitted with custom storage with open and closed cabinets.
The house has a tiny garden surrounded by lush plants, creating an outdoor haven in the center of London.
The house is listed for £990,000 at The Modern House.
