This two-bedroom Victorian terraced house is sited on Ladas Road in West Norwood, south-east London. Subject to a sensitive and gradual renovation in recent years, it comprises a set of serene living spaces where period features and contemporary interventions meet. The current owners have carefully sourced materials with integrity, over time, to curate a simple and sophisticated profile. A private garden unfolds at the rear, its elevated position meaning that it overlooks only gardens and chimneys from the streets further down the hill.
