For a quaint yet artsy home steeped in history, look no further than this 'Arts & Crafts' property in Greenwich.
Listed on Zoopla for £1,875,000, the three-storey, stucco-fronted house built in 1907 oozes with unique charm from the era's architecture movement.
The 'Arts & Crafts' movement, born in the mid-19th century, prized tradition and the use of local materials, carving its distinct footprint on British architecture and design.
This style reflects a desire to return to traditional craft skills, a reaction against the rise of mass production in the late 19th century.
Located on Foyle Road, this seven-bedroom house would be considered a 'true' Arts and Crafts home - built after the turn of the century - and retains original period features, from fireplaces to stained glass windows.
Aside from its character and charm, the ground floor promises a splendid entrance hall, two reception rooms, and a country-style kitchen.
Parking won't be an issue, with an integral garage and off-street driveway space for two vehicles.
For those in need of a home office or creative space, a high-spec, spacious and fully insulated studio workspace can be found in the west-facing garden, complete with air conditioning.
On the first floor, there are four bedrooms, and then a further three bedrooms on the top attic floor.
The Greenwich home also has three bathrooms and a separate utility room.
The Arts and Crafts style is inherent in the décor throughout the property, with bright walls, bookshelves and curtains decorated with checked print, and patchwork quilts on the beds.
William Morris, a prominent proponent of the movement, inspired unique interiors similar to these, as well as ornate detailing on exteriors, including porches, columns, and wood joinery in these creative homes.
The seven-bedroom home is located within the conservation area close to the Royal Greenwich Park, and near to the shopping facilities available at Blackheath Standard.
