Treadgold Street

A heritage framework invigorated with compelling contemporary design, an uplifting character unfolds across three floors of this family home.

Woven with a transitional aesthetic of old and new, a yellow stock brick façade conceals the modern reimagining of this three-bedroom terrace. Its Victorian architecture sings in harmony with the nearby Avondale Conservation Area. Inside, a contemporary open-plan layout diffuses boundaries. A traditionally-proportioned, double reception room is zoned for work and entertainment. Reams of natural light, channelled through the sash windows at the front, illuminate the reclaimed Victorian Hackney oak parquet flooring. Rows of bookshelves reach the contours of the high ceilings, whilst a marble fireplace is a striking focal point. Three steps lead down to a skylit kitchen and dining room, where marble surfaces, DeVol cobalt blue cabinetry and brass fittings strike an elegant note. Crittall doors create a synergy between inside and out; the leafy walled garden is set for alfresco meals in warmer climes.

The tranquil principle bedroom suite features stripped wood floors, cast-iron radiators and floor-to-ceiling wardrobes. Its ensuite bathroom has been thoughtfully-finished with chintz wallpaper and whitewashed parquet tiled floors – setting a welcoming scene for a jade-toned dual vanity and walk-in shower, with a curved freestanding bath taking centre stage. Past the storage in the hallway, a second bedroom suite invites creativity; reimagine the space as a peaceful study or home gym. A further bedroom suite is carved into the eaves. Carrara-patterned metro tiles and coal-black fittings characterise its contemporary bathroom, a contrast made sharper by a generous skylight.
