Wanstead Place

This Edwardian semi-detached house, untouched for decades, has been reimagined as a home that feels both lived-in and thoughtfully considered. The renovation reconfigures the layout for modern family life, adding a side extension in glass and steel that floods the new kitchen, dining, and living area with natural light. Floor-to-ceiling Crittall doors open onto the garden, connecting interior and exterior, creating a space made for relaxed entertaining and everyday family moments.

Upstairs, three en-suite bedrooms offer comfort and privacy, each framed by generous windows that capture views of the church green and surrounding trees. A Juliet balcony in the master bedroom and a clerestory window in the kitchen subtly reference the neighborhood setting, creating a quiet dialogue between the home and its surroundings.

Throughout, original features have been carefully restored; cornices, fireplaces, and period details remain, enhanced by bespoke joinery and considered finishes. Furnishings were curated to feel personal and collected: antiques and inherited pieces sit alongside new acquisitions chosen for warmth and character, resulting in interiors that invite touch, gathering, and lingering.

The result is a home that feels both rooted and contemporary, a careful balance of historic character, modern comfort, and thoughtful design, tailored to the family’s lifestyle and love of entertaining.
