Discreet rooflights hint at the beautifully executed loft conversion, while the rear elevation reveals a striking contemporary extension that contrasts confidently yet sympathetically with the original architecture. A welcoming Victorian entrance hall sets the tone for the home, where original proportions and period character sit comfortably alongside thoughtful contemporary updates. The original staircase rises to the second floor, with a bespoke continuation to the loft designed to match seamlessly. Soft carpeting extends to the second-floor landing before transitioning to painted stairs leading to the loft, while two rooflights above the upper hall flood the space with natural light. Spanning the full depth of the original house, the impressive double reception room perfectly balances Victorian elegance with contemporary living. High ceilings, a deep front bay window, engineered oak flooring and original fireplaces create a wonderfully calm atmosphere, while a remote-controlled gas fire provides everyday comfort.
