It is now arguably one of the finest homes of its kind in E17.The ground floor was significantly extended, both to the rear and along the whole side of the house, taking full advantage of its end-of-terrace plot to offer unrivalled lateral space. Skylights were installed to draw in natural light. Internal walls were moved to increase the size of each room, improving sight lines and flow, creating space for bespoke fitted storage, a downstairs WC, a utility room with a washer and dryer, and an incredible interior courtyard complete with a cacti garden and a bespoke natural clay plasterwork finish on the walls.Timber ceiling beams run the length of the kitchen, dining-room and hallway ceilings and underneath the skylights.

Access to the loft has been created in between the two double bedrooms, and the loft is boarded and insulated.
