This wonderful four-bedroom Edwardian house sits in a popular part of Clapton, north-east London, opposite the beautiful Millfields Park and moments from the shops, delis and restaurants of Chatsworth Road. Behind its ornate period frontage lie a series of bright and open spaces finished with rich materials and considered details. At the rear, the current owners in collaboration with McNeil Architects have added a light-filled extension that feels as though it merges the interior plan with the green, well-planted garden beyond.
