Location: London SW11
A semi-detached early Victorian location house in Battersea. Fully refurbished in 2015, the work was faithful to the old market-garden cottages that are a feature of this particular road, but with a subtle modern feel. General colour palette is pale, light greys with contrast of dark greys.
The hallway entrance has a limestone floor, features a spiral staircase and curved walls, and is lit by the skylight above. There are wide Dinesen floorboards in the kitchen/living room, with marble tops softened by classic English kitchen units and copper pendants, white painted wall boards, and long sash windows and panelled garden doors onto the garden. The more classic sitting-room with wood-burner leads to the snug-come-library, which leads back to the kitchen via glass panelled sliding doors.
