A Renovated Georgian House with an Extended Kitchen
On a quiet and characteristic street just back the South Bank in London stands this carefully renovated Georgian house with an extended kitchen. In recent years, the current owners have sensibly renovated the historic home, taking care of the Georgian features while also adding a new kitchen extension.
The two-bedroom house is decorated in a light color palette, added with the occasional bold color pop like a burgundy fireplace and green tiles in the bathroom. The extended kitchen is wonderfully light and opens into a landscaped city garden.
The double reception rooms showcase Georgian features at their finest, which the current owner carefully restored. The original Georgian paneling has been restored and painted in Farrow & Ball’s ‘Strong White.’ The sash windows in the front of the room are flanked by new shutters.
Period fireplaces have been reinstated, and the floorboards were striped to their original pitch pine color.
The back of the house has been redesigned with a glazed side return extension, creating a wonderfully bright and spacious kitchen area thanks to the Crittall style doors leading to the garden and the large skylights.
A new timber kitchen has been added with inky blue cabinet doors topped with quartz Blanco Carrara worktops. The central island has plenty of seating space and a charming storage niche in the center.
The dark blue cabinets and white countertops are paired with brass handles and fittings.
From the kitchen, you can access the paved courtyard, which has been landscaped with Red Robin’s and Feijoa Sellowiana.
A timber pergola with climbing jasmine creates a cozy dining spot in the summer months.
On the top floor are two bedrooms with stripped pine floorboards, original fireplaces, and built-in wardrobes.
The spacious bathroom is a wonderful space with a fireplace, exposed brick, a freestanding bath, and a shower. The room has fixtures by Chatsworth 1928 and a charming wooden door with imitation stained glass panels.
The house is listed for £1,800,000 at Inigo.
