Before & After: East London Edwardian
The property is an Edwardian mid terrace family home in Lower Clapton.
The principle objective was to extend and reconfigure the existing ground floor kitchen and utility spaces to provide a single open plan kitchen, dining and living space with improved outlook and interface with the existing rear garden.
Before:
After:
A simple palette of materials and standard products are used throughout to provide a practical and traditional construction whilst also creating a simple modern aesthetic.
Double patio doors connect the kitchen to the rear garden; views to the garden from the new sitting area are framed by a new projecting window seat and access to the courtyard is provided by further double patio doors.

One piece of advice you wish you'd known before buying a house?
Comments (103)Remember that Rome wasn't built in a day.. Neither the house you want to make a home... If the house feels right. With your Head and your heart, location. Then if it's the house for you it will work.. Move in and adjust each day... Yes you can put your Mark on the house, yes it will be your HOME... But live with it for at least a short while.. Don't be hasty to paint.. See where the sunshine..shines...See where it makes dull on a dark day...So you Can add a mirror maybe to reflect the daylight.. Don't make the pennies stretch any further than they are.. Remember that sadly the bills have to come first..!!!.... Improvise pieces to fit and...if you have to save for the right item....Then save..!!! it will be more practical in the end , rather than buying for the sake of it and having to buy another a few months down the line... Don't fill every room with furniture.... My biggest mistake... Use a piece like a sideboard and think practically the uses.... Is it big enough.. One more draw or cupboard would have better than two smaller ones...don't be afraid to add old stuff that we all now reuse..paint it ...add your own art work... It's a long journey.. To find the destination of all your dreams... And when you feel you have achieved what you have done...then sit back and enjoy all your hard work. And live in your HOME... Enjoy. Relax.. And above all have fun......See MoreNew Kitchen Diner in a totally renovated Edwardian property
