Among the quiet residential streets between Northfields and Hanwell, this end-of-terrace Edwardian home is a paragon of the personal touch. It has been renovated by one half of cross-Atlantic interior-design studio, Stelly Selway, and the result, spread across almost 1,500 sq ft with four bedrooms, is an intoxicating layering of light, texture and creative energy. An extended ground floor, that opens fully to a private south-west facing garden, provides both intimacy and expanse; a superb recipe for bridging the wants and needs of entertainment and of family life throughout the seasons.
An original front door opens to the hallway. Quarry tiles by heritage brand Ketley Brick extend from here across much of the ground floor and into the extended portion at the rear. Where the terracotta flows, so does underfloor heating.
The front living room retains its Edwardian floorboards and working fireplace, and a pair of sash windows cast a warm, atmospheric light on the Indian Yellow (Farrow & Ball) walls through custom blinds by Colour Co. Pine bi-fold doors offer separation from the open-plan dining and living space when required.
