CONVERTED STABLE IN WEST NORWOOD

This unusual and stylishly-decorated home in West Norwood has an interesting history. Built around 1890, the property was originally used as a stables for the house next door. When the current owners bought the house in 2007 it was still being used for commercial purposes and they set about converting it into the home it is today. They’ve renovated the home to a beautiful standard, a big job that included putting heating and a working kitchen in – for the first year they made do with a wood-burning stove instead. Original features show off the charming character of this house, while modern fittings make it comfortable and practical, especially the clever storage solutions. Natural light floods in from large windows and a light-wall, while the bedroom’s French doors open out onto a balcony, bringing the outdoors in.
