about

A large semi-detached Victorian location house in North Dulwich, set on a quiet no-through road between Dulwich Village and Herne Hill. A small park with a lake sits just down the road, contributing to the area’s calm, village-like atmosphere. The house belongs to a stylist and curator and has a strong handcrafted identity, with a particular emphasis on natural materials and bespoke, hand-finished details. The property has been sympathetically redesigned to incorporate and celebrate its original Victorian features, blending them seamlessly with carefully considered contemporary elements. Throughout the downstairs, hand-finished plaster walls create a richly tactile, artisanal surface, giving the spaces warmth and depth. Flooded with natural light, the house feels warm, layered and characterful, with subtle French influences.

LIVING ROOM

A generous living room with an original Victorian fireplace as the focal point. Bare, hand-finished plaster walls add texture and softness, paired with café curtains that gently diffuse the light. A piano sits within the space, reinforcing the room’s creative, lived-in feel. Calm, elegant and authentic, with strong original character.

KITCHEN

A beautifully detailed kitchen designed by Sebastian Cox / deVOL, where craftsmanship and materiality are central. Rough-sawn dark and light woods are used throughout, complemented by exposed, painted structural beams that introduce a subtle industrial note unique to this space. Crittall doors and a glazed roof flood the room with light, creating an indoor garden feel. A striking range cooker anchors the kitchen. Original ceramics are displayed throughout, and handmade brass taps add warmth and refinement.

DOWNSTAIRS WC

THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE
