Cozy Cottage Style in a London House with a Garden

On the top two floors of a beautiful Victorian townhouse in London lie a charming maisonette home with cottage style interiors. The 1,280 sq ft apartment is arranged around an original staircase with a curved mahogany handrail and elegant spindles, which shows the history of the Victoran house that was built around 1870.

Entryto the apartment is on the ground floor where a staircase leads you one floor up to a generous landing. The first floor houses the living room, kitchen, and bathroom. On the second floor you can find three bedrooms.

The owners opted for a neutral base for the apartment. The walls are painted in beige and light gray that is paired with a beautiful wooden floor. Warm color accents have been added throughout the home using orange and yellow tones.

The living room and kitchen are located on the first floor with double doors in between. With windows at the front and the back, these rooms are flooded with natural light throughout the day.

During the restoration of the apartment, the original narrow floorboards were all lifted, and any that couldn’t be saved were replaced with reclaimed boards from the era. 

The apartment has bespoke cabinetry, in the living room you can find these bookshelves and in other rooms you can find more fitted storage pieces.

At the back of the house is a beautiful cottage style kitchen. The kitchen is hand made and features wooden worktops, a beautiful plate rack, and a backsplash made of white squared tiles.

The old fireplace, crowned with a wooden lintel, is home to the stove.

The sash window that gives a view of the garden was also restored during the renovations.

The curved staircase features bespoke corner cupboards.

On the second floor are three spacious bedrooms with beautiful wooden floors.

At the back of the house is a quiet private garden with a lawn, mature trees, and climbing roses.

The back portion of the garden is reserved for raised vegetable beds, with lots of space for a greenhouse or potting shed.
