The first floor announces the home’s period credentials. Tall ceilings, runs of decorative cornicing and a wide bay window that floods the sitting room with light. Double doors draw back to reveal an adjoining bedroom – a generous pairing that, along with the family bathroom on the same level, can function as a self-contained suite.
Downstairs, the extension is given over to daily life. Whitewashed beams lift the ceiling; polished concrete grounds it. The kitchen runs along one wall – olive-green handleless cabinetry, green marble worktop and splashback, an island with an overhang for perching. A long dining table with woven chairs sits alongside, a bench running its full length for when numbers grow. Slide back the glass wall and the landscaped patio garden folds in.
