The Zen Garden London Suburbs, London

Property Description

This zen house with a private garden sits between Brixton and Peckham, less than ten minutes on foot to Denmark Hill train station. It’s a ten-minute train journey into the heart of London. Ruskin Park is on your doorstep, and the wildlife – foxes and woodpeckers – has been spotted in this home’s own garden. Your host is an architect, and inside you’ll find a medley of Scandi-chic and Japanese zen design where ink-black, light wood and white combine. The dine-in kitchen on the ground floor has a striking black breakfast bar, wood-burning stove and casual living area. A wall of glass opens up to the private garden where the wooden decking is furnished with benches, tables and chair are the walls are alive with botanica. Upstairs, you’ll find the formal living room, where shelves are piled with boho ceramics and a collection of books. A bonus balcony overlooking the street sits just off the living room, catching the sun in the evening.
