'MANOR'-STYLE EDWARDIAN
FIVE-BEDROOM HOUSE
COMPLETELY REFURBISHED
TO MEET CONTEMPORARY
DEMANDS
Award-winning architecture and interior design practice gpad london has finished
the complete refurbishment of an Edwardian five-bedroom house in Wadham
Gardens, Primrose Hill. The dated and dilapidated house has been transformed
into a highly desirable, luxurious dwelling with an elegant mezzanine library, a
modernist-inspired stained glass window, artisan-made chandeliers and a basement
extension with a car dock, cinema, swimming pool and gym. All bedrooms have
ensuites and the top floor can be divided into two suites with a concealed partition.
Standout features
Library
Wadham Gardens originally had two ground floor reception rooms, which were
timber-panelled in the 1970s. The flow has been improved by connecting the
spaces with a mezzanine library which has been built above an opening between
the rooms. The new staircase to the mezzanine, designed and installed by Wilder
Creative, forms a sculptural piece of art in the corner and a focal point between
the two rooms. A roof light floods the living space below and an artisan-designed
chandelier adds eye-catching detail.
