Take a look around this rescued Victorian villa

This property was gradually bought over time, from the owner initially purchasing the middle flat, to buying all 3 and creating a bright and spacious home.

An intriciate antique marble fireplace takes centre stage in the living room area, where neutral leather sofas compliment the rich wood flooring, and pale colour scheme.

The understated scheme in the living room and vast sash windows flood the room with light, letting original Victorian features, like the elegant cornicing, come to life.
