A Beautiful Extended Edwardian House Blends Period Features with Modern Design
Behind the elegant black façade of an Edwardian terrace house lies this five-bedroom home that is a masterclass in architectural reinvention. The interiors honor the past while confidently embracing the present.
Set across approximately 2,500 sq. ft and three meticulously crafted levels, the property has been transformed through a thoughtful extension and a comprehensive refurbishment, resulting in a space that feels both deeply rooted and refreshingly modern.
The first room you encounter when you step into the house is this grand reception space with plenty of period features. The original fireplace, soaring ceilings, and a bay window dressed in delicate stained glass create a historic ambiance.
The soft, beige-yellow shade on the walls adds warmth.
Beautiful period features showcase the history of the Edwardian building.
The hall with built-in cabinets and a powder room leads you to the back of the house, which is decorated in a huge contrast to the front reception room.
The back of the house has been extended, creating a huge open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting room with large windows and glass doors leading to the garden.
Exposed charred beams and diagonally laid metal slates punctuate the glass-ceilinged side return, playing with light and shadow in a way that lends texture and rhythm. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, drawing the eye toward a beautifully landscaped garden.
The kitchen is an elegant design with handleless cabinet doors, integrated appliances, and a quartz countertop and backsplash that rises to meet a floating shelf.
The master suite is located in the original Edwardian part of the first floor. This used to be two separate bedrooms, but it has been turned into a magnificent space with a large sleeping area, a walk-through wardrobe, and an elegant bathroom.
Pretty round stained glass windows flank the large bay window that flood the room with natural light.
Floor-to-ceiling wardrobes provide plenty of storage space and form a natural space between the sleeping area and the bathroom.
The en-suite bathroom is decorated in delicate pink tones, from a soft blush shade on the walls to pink shower tiles. On the floor lie colorful terrazzo tiles.
There are four more bedrooms in the house, divided over the first and second floor, as well as two bathrooms.
The garden is just as elegant as the interior. A seamless patio flows from the interior space, leading to a central lawn and, beyond, a sun-drenched raised deck that invites long afternoons and quiet evenings.
The house is listed for £2,350,000 at Aucoot.
