Oriel Road, London

The Home -

This three bedroom, three storey Victorian house has been lovingly renovated over the years by the current owner and the space has a pleasant sense of flow, carefully composed to allow for flexibility of use. Located close to Victoria Park and Well Street common.

The Indoors -

The entrance door opens onto a long corridor which houses the downstairs WC. The family friendly living space has large sash windows, framed by original wood paneling and shutters, bathing the room in natural light. An operational fireplace and original wooden floors.

The kitchen and dining space are predominantly open plan and perfect for entertaining while cooking. Neutral cabinetry, wooden work surfaces and plenty of storage space in the form of easily accessible open shelves. Full length bi-fold double glazed doors open directly from here onto the patio and garden.

One of the most striking rooms of the house is the bathroom, which lies at the rear of the first floor. The centre piece of the room is the roll top soaking tub by Albion Baths and the shower is bordered beautifully by porcelain tiles. The original master bedroom is next to the bathroom and has two large wooden sash windows, original wood floors and fireplace.

Two further bedrooms lie on the second floor. The master bedroom benefits from vaulted ceilings, two wooden sash windows which allow natural light to pour through. Original wooden floors and an en-suite shower room have been added very tastefully. The third bedroom lies adjacent with exposed brick walls and fitted wooden bookshelves.

The Outdoors -

A leafy garden stretches from the kitchen, enclosed by mature trees. A pebbled patio area leads to the lawn at the rear.
