Period Details in a Cozy London Apartment in a Victorian Tenement Building

This charming one-bedroom apartment lies in one of the last remaining Victorian tenement buildings in London. It was once the residence for the building’s bakery. Many of the yellow London stock brick building’s original features have been preserved, like the white sash windows, wrought-iron railings, and painted terracotta archway with period decorations.

Inside the 760 sq ft apartment, you will also find many period features, such as the original wooden floorboards, the fireplace, and the woodwork around the sash windows. The apartment feels lovely and ‘lived in,’ with plants, a mixture of furniture and styles, and subtle color accents.

The living room is centered around the 19th-century fireplace flanked by alcove cupboards. The four-pane timber-framed sash windows let in natural light and the windows are surrounded by carefully restored and waxed woodwork that now show its natural tone.

The kitchen is located in the center of the apartment and features a large three-over-three sash window offering views of the city of London.

The kitchen is a lovely social space with a large wooden table surrounded by yellow chairs and paired with a blue rug.

Beyond the kitchen lies the ‘solarium’ (formerly the scullery) with large timber-framed windows. The space is filled with plants and string lights, which turn it into a cozy and lively home office or a reading nook.

Next to the home office lies the bathroom with mustard and olive green tiles.

The charming bedroom has an original cast-iron fireplace flanked on one side with a beautiful warm wooden built-in wardrobe.

The apartment is listed for £540,000 at Inigo.
