Dating back to the early 20th century, the three-storey burrstone house with a basement level is highlighted on its exterior by beige and red brickwork, cast-iron lintels adorned with glazed-ceramic flowers, and Art Nouveau guardrails. It includes a spacious reception room with a floor area of 50m² and a working fireplace. This reception room communicates with the garden via a wide glass door and a raised terrace on stilts. Adjacent to the living room is a kitchen with a glass roof, accessible after descending a few steps, which, in turn, overlooks a pleasant conservatory that communicates with the semi-underground basement level.
The first floor includes three large bedrooms, which look out over the calm neighbouring gardens, as well as a bathroom with a window and a separate lavatory. On the second floor, there is a spacious bedroom with an open bathroom, a separate lavatory and a terrace built into the roof.
Lastly, in the garden, a workshop with an arched window and its own shower room and lavatory, blends harmoniously into the vegetation and adjoins two closed garages – 14 and 16 m2 – easily accessible from the road.

The house

The right side of the house adjoins an edifice from the same era, which, since then, has been divided into flats, while the other sides of the dwelling do not adjoin any other structures.
The burrstone facade is embellished with touches of beige and red brickwork. The first-floor windows and the living room’s side window have preformed cast-iron lintels, adorned with glazed ceramic flowers. They are framed within a fine decor of brickwork and Rocaille-style burrstone. The windows are also safeguarded with Art Nouveau-style guardrails and traditional metal louvred shutters. The upper part of the house, along the second floor, is decorated with beige brickwork and a plaster geometric pattern, a modern reinterpretation of timber framing. This decor showcases a triple-casement window beneath the eaves of the roof’s clipped hipped end.
The garden-level floor has a large picture window, the metal and wood frame of which repeats the original bluish colour of the windows and louvred shutters. Installed in the 1990s where the main room’s two windows used to be, it gives onto the garden via a wooden terrace and serves as a viewpoint for admiring the vegetation outside.
On the left side of the edifice, a conservatory leads to the main entrance hall. At the back, an extension beneath a glazed roof was built where there used to be a courtyard, creating a bright space that has been transformed into a kitchen and conservatory.

The garden-level floor
When you step through the original glazed wooden front door, topped with a fanlight decorated with wrought-iron arabesque motifs, you reach a short hallway that leads to the reception rooms as well as the basement and first floor. Bathed in natural light on summer afternoons thanks to a glass door, which also offers a broad view of the garden, a vast reception room extends to the right with nearly 57 m² and a modern boat deck-style hardwood floor. In the right-hand corner, a black-marble Napoleon III-style fireplace with lion-claw jamb bases, will provide roaring fires once it has been swept. Outside, the terrace upon stilts, which is level with the living room, cleverly extends the reception space and makes it possible to enjoy the garden in spring, while its structure allows natural light to reach the semi- underground basement.
The spacious reception room communicates, after descending a few steps, with the kitchen, large enough to accommodate a table for family meals and bathed in mid-day natural light thanks to its glazed roof. The room, located slightly below the garden level overlooks a conservatory that communicates with the basement. This lower-level conservatory is the perfect spot to grow plants and create a Mediterranean garden or even set up an office or workshop.

The first floor
From the entrance hallway, an original oak staircase leads up to the first floor. This floor has kept its original oak narrow-plank hardwood flooring and includes three comfortable bedrooms that look out at the garden – one of them, in the corner, has windows on two sides and looks out on the lush garden. This first floor also includes a bathroom, filled with natural light from a window, and a separate lavatory.

The second floor
The staircase carries on up to the top floor where there is a vast bedroom (a floor area of 28 m2) with an open bathroom bathed in natural light thanks to windows on three sides, while wardrobes have been fitted in the roof space along one wall. The bathroom (with a floor area of nearly 11 m2) is spacious and includes a shower, a bathtub and, between two windows, a Memphis-inspired semi-circular washbasin adorned with tiny red-pointed white tiles. A hidden door at the back takes you to a separate lavatory. From this comfortable bathroom, a glass door leads out onto a terrace that was built into the roof when the house was transformed in the late 1990s.

The basement
Partially underground and with a floor area of 61 m2, it extends beneath both the original edifice and the extension topped with its glazed roof and located in the small former courtyard. This level includes a boiler room with a gas boiler that should be replaced. Two rooms look out on the garden, one through a window and another via a glass door; the latter, partially walled up some years ago, could easily be returned to its original purpose. The first room, a former television room inspired by Moroccan aesthetics, connects to the conservatory, while a large study, which also communicates with the conservatory, extends beneath the kitchen. In addition, the basement also includes has an alcove that has been turned into a utility room, as well as a large wardrob.
