Chandos Road, London

The Home -

Set along a handsome Edwardian terrace, this beautifully restored three-bedroom house unfolds across approximately 1,373 sqft of carefully considered living space. The current owners have undertaken an extensive and thoughtful renovation, restoring the character of the original architecture while introducing bespoke craftsmanship, natural materials and subtle contemporary design. Original Edwardian details have been carefully preserved throughout from encaustic hallway tiles and pine floorboards to fireplaces, doors and decorative plasterwork creating a home that feels both authentic and quietly refined.

Approached through a landscaped front garden framed by London reclaimed brick walls and sandstone copings, the house sits behind a low boundary wall with slate paving leading to the front door. The sense of care taken with the exterior sets the tone for what lies within: a house where period charm has been sensitively restored and elevated through thoughtful design and high-quality materials.

Chandos Road sits within a vibrant and evolving part of Tottenham, North London, known for its strong local community, growing food scene and proximity to excellent green spaces.

The Indoors -

Entry is through a welcoming hallway where original Edwardian encaustic tiles have been restored and polished, immediately setting the tone for the craftsmanship found throughout the home. The staircase rises ahead with its restored pine banister and spindles, while beneath the stairs a bespoke utility space with pine cupboards and an ash worktop neatly houses washing and drying appliances.

At the front of the house, the reception room is arranged around the bay window, allowing natural light to pour across restored pine floorboards finished in Bona Mega extra-matt lacquer. Twin fireplaces have been restored, while original pine doors fitted with honeycomb brushed-brass handles sit alongside decorative ceiling roses finished in Farrow & Ball’s Cinder Rose. Bespoke carpentry lines the alcoves, adding practical storage and subtle detail.

To the rear, the house opens into a generous kitchen and dining room, designed as the heart of the home. The floor is finished in Ardex Pandomo polished concrete with wet underfloor heating, creating a seamless, contemporary surface. The kitchen itself is bespoke and handcrafted in pine, with marine ply shelving accents and cabinetry painted in Farrow & Ball’s Railings, topped with honed Carrara marble worktops. A restored chimney breast frames the range cooker, with a bespoke Miele extractor installed within the original chimney, blending modern functionality with the historic structure of the house. Large glazed doors connect the space directly to the garden, filling the room with natural light.

Upstairs are three bedrooms with restored pine floorboards finished in Bona Mega extra-matt lacquer. The principal bedroom is finished in Farrow & Ball’s Pavilion Grey and features bespoke wardrobes and integrated brushed-brass lighting. Two further bedrooms continue the home’s calm aesthetic, including a playful child’s room finished in Little Greene’s French Grey Pale with bespoke circus wallpaper. The bathroom blends vintage character with modern fittings, centred around a repurposed early-20th-century mahogany dresser vanity topped with Carrara marble, alongside a Bette Comodo bath with brushed brass Coalbrook fittings and natural rubber flooring.

The Outdoors -

The garden extends directly from the kitchen, creating a natural continuation of the living space. Immediately outside the house, a terrace finished in polished concrete porcelain paving provides a generous area for outdoor dining, while the garden beyond unfolds with a lawn, raised planting beds and two timber decking areas designed for relaxing throughout the day.

The raised beds are constructed with railway sleepers and planted using Hugelkultur methods, encouraging rich soil and seasonal planting. The garden is east-facing, making mornings here particularly special, as sunlight streams through the kitchen doors and across the dining space. Thanks to its open aspect, the garden continues to enjoy plenty of natural light throughout the rest of the day.
