Henry Street

To the rear, the kitchen introduces a more contemporary language. Matt graphite handleless cabinetry is paired with crisp quartz worktops and arranged around a central island, creating a space that feels both practical and understated. A large aluminium-framed window and matching glazed door draw the garden visually into the room, while integrated appliances – including an oven, microwave, induction hob, fridge, freezer and slimline dishwasher – are carefully incorporated into the design.

Connecting the floors is a beautifully executed staircase, where crisp Southern Yellow Pine balustrades provide a subtle nod to the house’s Victorian origins while reinforcing the more contemporary material palette found throughout.

At lower ground level, the basement has been transformed into a series of highly functional secondary spaces. A cinema room, finished in rich and enveloping tones, provides a more intimate counterpoint to the openness of the floor above, while a utility room sits discreetly behind three wide sliding oak doors. Despite the basement setting, both rooms benefit from natural light.

The first floor is given over in part to a generous principal bedroom suite, where panelled walls and carefully chosen finishes create a calm and quietly luxurious atmosphere. Alongside sits a stylish en suite shower room, while the family bathroom occupies the remainder of the floor.

Above, the top floor accommodates two further bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes and an elevated sense of light and outlook, particularly to the front where rooftop views stretch across the surrounding Conservation Area.

Outside, the rear garden has been attractively landscaped to complement the house’s interior palette, with clean lines softened by planting. A neat lawn is bordered by shrubs, while a gravelled seating area provides space for outdoor dining and entertaining. A garden shed offers additional storage, while practical side access arrangements remain typical of houses of this age and setting.

What distinguishes this house is the clarity and consistency of its design. Rather than competing with the building’s Victorian origins, the contemporary interventions work in quiet dialogue with them; enhancing light, texture and flow while allowing the character of the original house to remain fully legible. The result is a home that feels both timeless and distinctly modern. Calm, carefully resolved and deeply considered throughout.
