A three-storey Victorian terrace in west London with a living room, kitchen-diner and WC on the ground floor, two bedrooms and bathrooms on the first floor and a third bedroom and bathroom on the second floor. The owner has left some bricks exposed as a reminder of the building's past. Loud wall art and a bicycle provide an interesting feature around the traditional fireplace.

A bespoke table, mismatched dining chairs, a stainless-steel range cooker and repurposed chicken-house heaters as lights create a contemporary rustic vibe.
