This coastal-style Victorian terraced house in south London takes inspiration from restful Hamptons homes in New York. There’s a living room, playroom, WC, utility room and kitchen-diner with pantry on the ground floor. Upstairs, an office, shower room, main bedroom and guest bedroom. On the floor above, a bedroom and WC and, at the top of the house, a bedroom and bathroom. In the living room, the sea grass flooring and timber furnishings add warmth and character. The rest of the terrace is furnished with a mix of decorative antiques and vintage pieces.
