| This delightful little cottage
is a perfect example of how old and new can balance and enhance each other
when combined sensitively. This classic 19th century, two-up-two-down was
built when Richmond was a village outside London . Its current owners
decided to mark Richmond ’s metropolitan status by creating a contemporary
glazed extension to their kitchen. The plain Spitalfields cupboards, zinc
and wooden surfaces and glass-topped kitchen table give the building
an urban twist, bringing light and the garden into the house |
