Description
Standing on the edge of Myatt’s Fields Park, this five-bedroom Victorian townhouse has been fundamentally redefined. Between 2021 and 2023, the property underwent a meticulous three-year transformation led by a very talented interior designer. The result is a 2,420 sq. ft. residence that functions as a "Biophilic" sanctuary, a home designed to reduce the friction of city life by bringing the restorative patterns of nature indoors.
It is a rare property where the Victorian proportions remain, but the internal experience is entirely contemporary, focused on light, air, and psychological well-being.
The ground floor has been reimagined to eliminate the narrow, dark hallways typical of the era. Instead, the space flows as a continuous sensory journey:
The flying waterfall stairs: A custom-engineered ceiling installation curves through the reception rooms. Rather than harsh spotlights, it provides a soft, non-linear glow that mimics the movement of water, designed to lower stress and rest the eyes.
Textured Elements: The walls are finished in hand-applied Stucco Veneziano (marble plaster), which catches the light with a natural, mineral depth. Underfoot, sustainable bamboo flooring and Italian stone provide a grounded, organic feel that is both durable and carbon-neutral.
The Floating Spine: A bespoke walnut waterfall staircase rises through the centre of the home. With its sculptural "cascading" design and natural rope balustrade, it turns the simple act of moving between floors into a moment of architectural interest.
The rear of the house is dedicated to light and life. The Italian-designed kitchen and dining area are wrapped in high-performance glazing, dissolving the line between inside and out.
The Indoor Garden: A massive, living green wall acts as a natural air purifier and a vibrant visual anchor for the dining space.
The Soundscape: Outside, a stone waterfall and pond system in the landscaped garden are calibrated for "Psychoacoustics" the sound of trickling water is specifically used to mask the ambient hum of London, creating a private acoustic bubble.
Beneath the high-end finishes is a "high-performance" infrastructure designed for effortless living:
Water Autonomy: A hidden 5,000-litre subterranean reservoir harvests rainwater to automatically irrigate the internal green wall and the multiple garden levels.
Intuitive Heating: The home uses a dual-zone approach: wet underfloor heating on the ground floor for consistent warmth, and rapid-response infrared heating in the loft and basement—a healthier, sun-like heat that doesn't dry the air.
Future-Proofing: The property includes a heavy-duty Electric Vehicle (EV) charging point, full CAT5 data wiring, and upgraded insulation and double glazing throughout.
The layout offers a level of flexibility rarely found in South London:
The Principal Suite: A quiet retreat on the first floor that opens directly onto a private green roof terrace, your own elevated garden for morning coffee.
Transformative Rooms: Several bedrooms feature bespoke joinery with concealed Murphy beds, allowing them to function as wide-open yoga studios or home offices during the day and comfortable bedrooms at night (maximising space and versatility).
The Sky Studio: The top floor offers a 6-meter-wide executive office with its own private terrace access and a mezzanine reading nook.
The Independent Studio: On the lower ground floor, a 280 sq. ft. self-contained unit with a private entrance offers the perfect solution for long-term guests, a live-in nanny, family or a professional detached workspace.
This is a home built for the next generation of homeownership, one where technical robustness and environmental responsibility meet a deeply human, peaceful aesthetic.
