A Warm Family Home with a Light-Filled Kitchen Extension with Terracotta Tiles

Behind a freshly restored brick facade, softened by a charming front garden and a sage-green front door, lies a beautiful family home that balances period character with thoughtful contemporary design.

The Victorian house was renovated and remodeled over the past 11 years by its current owners. A palette of Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, and Edward Bulmer shades creates neutral, warm spaces with a timeless feel, paired with textural materials such as Zellige tiles, seales plaster, and reclaimed pine floorboards, adding depth and character.

A small entry porch leads you straight into the open-plan living spaces. Reclaimed pine floorboards run underfoot, while the walls are painted in Farrow & Ball’s “Joe’s White”, creating a light and characterful base.

The beautiful bay window features East London Cloth café curtains with bronze rods and a built-in bench with a mocha cushion, creating a lovely window seat. The bespoke joinery, including the window seat and cabinets, is painted in Farrow & Ball’s “Oxford Stone.”

The sitting room is centered around a period fireplace with a bio-ethanol stove, black surround, and a glossy bottle-green tiled hearth.

A widened doorway with sliding pocket doors and a sage-painted overhead steel beam leads you to the extended kitchen and dining space.

The kitchen is a magnificent, bright space thanks to the vaulted ceiling fitted with wide skylights and the French doors (painted in Little Greene’s “Sage Green”) to the garden.

A pantry has been created on one side, with internal windows letting through light and walls and shelves painted in “Tuscan Red” by Little Greene.

The kitchen’s shaker-style cabinets are custom-painted in Little Greene’s “Bath Stone” paired with bronze knobs and a Silestone quartz worktop. The Rangemaster cooker is tucked into the former chimney breast, fitted with Delftware-style patterned tiles.

The walls are painted in Farrow & Ball’s “Dimitry,” while the paneling behind the work area and the shelves are painted in “Joa’s White.” The double butler sink is paired with an antique brass tap by Perrin & Rowe.

On the other side, a cozy dining nook has been created, featuring a built-in corner banquette with a terracotta seat cushion and Jim Lawrence bronze wall lights. The table is an old model from John Lewis, and the sage-green stools are designed by Martino Gamper.

From the kitchen, you can access the 26-foot garden enclosed by timber fencing and zoned to make the most of the sun.

The decked patio closest to the kitchen flows into a lawn and a small suntrap seating area on the right.

The terracotta tiles from Floors of Stone add character and warmth to the kitchen space.

The staircase in the living room leads you to the first floor with two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The largest room spans the full width of the front and features two large windows fitted with timber Venetian blinds.

The walls are painted in Farrow & Ball’s “Farrow’s Cream,” while the woodwork is painted in “Hay,” paired with sanded reclaimed pine floorboards.

One wall is fitted with floor-to-ceiling bespoke paneled wardrobes.

The smaller bedroom is a cozy nursery with the same reclaimed floorboards and painted in “Clove” by Edward Bulmer.

The family bathroom is painted in “Lute” by Little Greene, paired with sage green half-height paneling. It features a freestanding roll-top bath and a bespoke green vanity with a marble top. The wall lights are from Pooky Lighting.

Another staircase leads you to the loft space, which is currently the master suite, color-drenched in Edward Bulmer’s “Clove,” with bespoke wardrobes and eaves storage painted in “Brasserie Brown” by COAT.

Velux windows at the front and a part-glazed door leading to a Juliet balcony in the rear turn this attic space into a bright room.

The en-suite bathroom features a period-style window with East London Cloth café-style curtains. The walls are finished in sealed plaster paired with charcoal and white floor tiles.

A charming bespoke curved scalloped-edge cement sink with chrome wall-mounted taps stands in the corner.

The walk-in shower features neutral-toned Zellige-style tiles and a custom-made fluted glass screen.

The house is listed for £800,000 at Eeleven.
