“The well-preserved Georgian core of the house has been masterfully enhanced by a light-filled contemporary extension”

Something of a palimpsest, this sublime five-bedroom, Grade II-listed Georgian house in Lambeth, south London has struck a masterful balance between old and new. It unfolds across a plan of 2,400 sq ft, with five storeys and a thoughtfully curated palette of colours and materials. At the rear, a brilliant extension designed by Grace Fletcher in collaboration with Archer + Braun unfolds onto an oasis of a garden full of rare plants and mature trees. Despite its proximity to the South Bank, Waterloo and Southwark, the house is exceptionally peaceful.
