Description

From the street, a handsome late Victorian house. Inside, a home designed in a manner that de Rijke would later describe as familiar materials offering unfamiliar pleasures. Poured concrete, laminated plywood, copper pipe and cedar of Lebanon, each ordinary in itself, but extraordinary in their use. Radiators standing proud of the window bays, topped with concrete seats that hold warmth in winter. For a book in the sitting room, with Queen's Park to your front and the fire to your back, or in the principal bedroom, sipping a morning coffee, looking across the park. Internal doors that have been raised in height, so every room feels generous in both its proportions and views. A Perspex-framed staircase, plywood joinery, shelving and light fittings designed for the house, not chosen from a catalogue. A cook's kitchen running the full depth of the rear extension, with a sculptural island and an Aga at its heart. Complemented by a de Rijke-designed dining table and benches. Glazed doors opening onto a decked terrace, and garden beyond. Two reception rooms, as connected or separate as life requires. A principal bedroom suite spanning the house's full width. A shower positioned so you can look out across the park as you stand beneath it, an architect-designed copper towel rail. Three further bedrooms, a family bathroom and a thoughtfully designed top-floor office, flooded with natural light. Across a tree-lined avenue to Queen's Park. Salusbury Road at the end of Hopefield Avenue. Morning walks in the park. Sundays at London's best Farmers' Market. A house with unparalleled provenance.
