A Crittal-Style Glazed Extension for a Ground Floor Victorian Apartment
The ground floor of a semi-detached Victorian townhouse is home to a magnificent family apartment, featuring an extended kitchen space with Crittal-style glazing looking out over the back garden.
The three-bedroom apartment beautifully pairs original Victorian proportions with a contemporary interior style, including the beautiful extension, creating a wonderful sense of indoor/outdoor living.
The heart of the home is this beautifully extended open-plan living space. The vaulted ceiling and the Crittal-style glazing draw your eyes toward the private back garden.
The sitting area is truly connected to the outdoors. Large skylights and glazing on two sides (including doors leading to the outdoor kitchen and the garden) connect to the outdoors, while the hanging planters and climbers also bring the outside in.
The vaulted ceiling and the large windows bring in a lot of light and also add a sense of volume to the living space.
Doors in the sitting area and the kitchen lead out to a beautiful garden with an outdoor grill spot to the side and a lawn with a seating area in the back.
The garden is a peaceful retreat from the busy outside world in London. The garden is framed by mature trees, creating privacy, while established planting brings a natural sense of depth and character, featuring wisteria, climbing roses, and hydrangeas woven through layered borders.
The kitchen is designed in a timeless Shaker style, featuring dark blue cabinetry with brass fittings, a kitchen island with bar seating, and a butler sink.
Classic white tiles act as the backsplash while the wooden shelves add a rustic element to the kitchen.
On the other side, a glass door opens to a tiny courtyard.
On the other side of the kitchen, a charming dining area has been created featuring white-painted paneled walls, a built-in bench, and a rustic dining table.
The master bedroom is located at the front of the house, featuring an elegant sash window with the original wooden shutters. Built-in wardrobes featuring partially glass doors in the same style as the kitchen cabinets.
The soft pink hue on the walls pairs beautifully with the wooden elements.
The apartment features two more bedrooms. The largest one overlooks the courtyard (connected to the kitchen) and features built-in cabinet space.
One wall has been fitted with green-painted shelving.
The smallest bedroom is now a nursery with a bright yellow window frame.
The bathroom is fresh and stylish, with classic white tiles paired with a sea-blue accent wall of scalloped tiles and a geometric floor tile.
The entry hall is painted in the same soft pink hue as the bedroom. It has a small niche that serves as coat and shoe storage.
The house is listed for £1,250,000 at Aucoot.
