Take a tour around a family-friendly Victorian terrace in east London

This four-storey Victorian terrace in east London has a utility room, larder and WC in the basement, and a living room and open-plan kitchen-diner on the ground floor. On the first floor there's a library, two bedrooms and a bathroom, and the top floor has a master suite and a mezzanine dressing room.

1/7 Living room

In period houses with kitchen-diners at the back, the front room can become a bit of an unused zone. Here, it is connected so that sunlight floods through the entire ground floor.

3/7 Living room area

The long lit shelf helps to connect this room with the kitchen, continuing on from the run of units. Little niches have been created throughout the house to display unusual and quirky artwork. Each alcove has soft, slightly off-kilter edges to give a more organic feel and is lit using energy-saving LED bulbs.

4/7 Kitchen-diner

This modern kitchen is designed like a production line, with no awkward angles or inefficient corner cupboards, just practical ideas such as a simple work surface that can be wiped from one end all the way down.

5/7 Dining room

The chimney breast in this chic white dining room has been stripped back to the original brickwork, adding a three-dimensional feel to the space. A Danish wood-burning stove is so efficient you can use it in smoke-controlled areas.
