This beautiful five-bedroom house can be found on Thorne Road, a quiet tree-lined street in the heart of Stockwell. It extends over 2,000 sq ft and has a wonderfully peaceful south-facing garden as well as two private terraces. The house spans five floors, within which period proportions seamlessly blend with contemporary design to create a carefully considered home that maximises light and space. Quite fittingly, given its illustrious history of creative residents, a Latin inscription "Arslonga Vita Brevis" is emblazoned along the top of the building and refers to the brevity of life in contrast to the eternal nature of art.
