James Home Rating: 734 | Grade A | October | 2026
What was once a fairly standard period home has been completely reimagined here, and intelligently so. This is not renovation for the sake of showing off. Someone with real architectural restraint and confidence has reshaped the house into something genuinely interesting without erasing its past.
The feeling throughout is openness, but controlled openness. That is much harder to achieve than people realise, especially within the bones of an older home.
Upstairs is the standout. The ceiling treatment changes the entire experience of the space. Unusual, but not trying too hard. The stairwell itself is relatively modest, yet the detailing around it makes the transition feel seamless.
Downstairs opens beautifully to the side garden through large doors and connected living spaces. The master bedroom pushes openness a little far for some buyers, though the overall execution is thoughtful.
There is a lot of intellect in this home.
