Colorful Rooms and a Modern Kitchen in a Spacious Family Home
This colorful family home is located on the edge of Dane Park, just minutes from the Old Town ánd the beach in Margate, England. The five-bedroom house was modernized in recent years, combining natural materials and colors to create a bright and inviting family home.
Like many English Victorian houses, it has been extended at the back, creating a bright, modern, and spacious kitchen and dining room that connects to the modern garden at the rear of the house.
From the entry hall, you access a double living room with a large bay window at the front of the house. The front room is painted in a soft pink hue, leaving the top part and the ceiling white, which adds a sense of height to the room.
The room is centered around a log burner flanked by built-in cabinets with circular handles and a variety of shelves.
The back room features a stunning marble fireplace, hinting at the Victorian bones of the house.
The kitchen extension presents a complete contrast in style compared to the formal sitting rooms. Plywood cabinets, white fronted-units, and a kitchen island are paired with confetti-like terrazzo worktops and Marmoleum flooring.
The far end of the room is designed as a dining room, which is wonderfully bright thanks to dual-aspect glazing that also gives access to the garden and a deep roof light above the dining table.
The first floor is home to three bedrooms. The grandest bedroom at the front of the plan features the same bay window as the downstairs living room.
The bed is flanked by built-in shelves and a smart vanity table that can also be used as a desk.
The room has its own bathroom with white tiles and black fittings.
The second bedroom on the first floor is painted in a warm, terracotta pink shade and features a wooden IKEA bedframe and built-in wardrobes painted in the same color as the walls.
The third bedroom on the first floor is now a spacious children’s room with a light pink scallop wall mural and an exposed brick chimney breast.
The family bathroom features green walls paired with classic white tiles and a roll-top bath.
The top floor is home to two more bedrooms. The largest room has a bespoke plywood room divider hiding the walk-in wardrobe. The two rooms share a stylish bathroom with a shower, a slanted ceiling, and a skylight.
The staircase and the front door are painted in Farrow & Ball’s “India Yellow” shade.
The garden features a seating area near the house, a lawn, and a timber-lined shed that serves as a home office.
The house is listed for £750,000 at The Modern House.
