A back-to-brick renovation of a Victorian house, extending to nearly 2,000 sq ft with a separate garden studio, this four-bedroom home blends restored period character with bold contemporary design.

Behind the handsome brick façade and stained-glass front door, interiors open with terracotta tiles and chevron-laid oak floors complemented by crisp Farrow & Ball tones. Period features have been sensitively retained, including exposed brick fireplaces, deep skirtings, ceiling roses and ornate cornicing, new double-glazed timber sash windows continue throughout.

The ground floor centres on a dramatic kitchen and dining room, where terrazzo flooring and a stone topped island with breakfast bar sit beneath a wall of glazing. Bespoke cabinetry, Smeg appliances, and ABI Interiors brassware complete the space, which flows onto a landscaped garden with cedar fencing, built-in seating, and a fitted studio ideal as an office, gym, or guest suite.

A formal reception and a generous lower-ground family room provide further living and entertaining options, while a guest bedroom completes the lower floors. The other three bedrooms are arranged over the upper levels finished in the same vein with delicate period features and exposed brickwork. The bathroom is design-led, with Ca’ Pietra terrazzo, Claybrook mosaics, and a freestanding tub set against handmade Zellige tiles, the terracotta arched shower is a particular delight.

Set beside an Outstanding school and close to Millfields Park, Chatsworth Road, and Hackney Marshes, the house also benefits from swift City links via Clapton and Hackney Central.
