This award-winning five-bedroom house is part of a handsome Victorian terrace on a quiet residential street in Charlton, south-east London. The current owners have sensitively reimagined the period home to create a set of calm living spaces characterised by clean architectural lines and a pared-back material palette of birch ply and microcement. Beyond the kitchen, there is a 50 ft mature garden bounded by a garden room, through which a secret door leads directly to Maryon Park and Maryon Wilson Animal Park. The house received the ‘Best Modern Home’ LivingEtc 2022 Reader's Award and was featured in House London by Ellie Stathaki.
