Exposed Beams and Brickwork in an Extended London Period House
Owned and redesigned by architects, this five-bedroom house in the Hither Green area of London was fully refurbished in 2020, creating inviting spaces where period elements, contemporary design, and an extension featuring industrial elements come together to create a fabulous home.
A private driveway with a small landscaped garden, including beech hedging, a climbing white rose, and a chocolate vine, leads you to an external porch that gives access to the 1,632 square foot house.
We’re starting the tour at the back of the house, where you will find the extension housing an open-plan kitchen and living room featuring exposed brick walls and floor-to-ceiling windows connecting the space with the garden.
The sitting and dining area sits slightly lower than the kitchen, and the exposed brick walls and painted timber ceiling add a rustic touch to this area. Skylights and large windows facing the garden flood the room with light.
On the other side, a large dining table sits by the garden doors, creating a seamless connection to the back garden.
The stylish kitchen features matte black cabinets paired with Indian granite countertops and integrated Bosch appliances.
Floor-to-ceiling cabinets along one wall add even more storage space.
Between the front living room and the kitchen lies a separate utility room with bespoke oak joinery, housing laundry appliances and additional storage.
The utility room provides access to the guest toilet, featuring a terrazzo countertop and tongue-and-groove paneling.
At the front of the house sits a cozy living room defined by a large box bay window. The room also features a cast-iron fireplace with a slate hearth, engineered oak flooring, and period detailing.
The family bathroom on the first floor is a fresh space with a terrazzo floor, a freestanding bath, a separate shower, and stylish black fittings.
The first floor includes three bedrooms. The largest room sits at the front of the plan, featuring the large box bay window and wooden floorboards.
The smallest room is painted in a deep green shade and is currently used as a home office.
The top floor is home to a beautiful master suite, featuring characterful timber beams and an en-suite bathroom.
The spacious loft bedroom is flooded with light thanks to a skylight above the bed and a large picture window at the back. A beautiful midcentury vanity table adds a vintage touch.
The east-facing garden has been professionally landscaped and includes a koi pond, a west-facing terrace, a BBQ area, a pergola, and a storage/potting shed.
The house is listed for sale at Mundays.
