Untouched for fifty years, with Italianette flavours from its former owner of terrazzo and grapevines, this family home has been dramatically refurbished and extended. The historic features and proportions of the main house are preserved. Upstairs, an open tread Douglas fir stair and glazed bridge, allows daylight to enter from rooflights deep into the building. At lower-ground the open-plan kitchen extends from a basement snug to the garden. Oak doors and windows sit within a bespoke cast facade, the colours recalling the Italianette heritage. The vine clambers up a lightweight trellis.
