EXPANSION PLAN

PURCHASED 2019

PREVIOUS PROPERTY ‘We lived in a Victorian house on a busy main road in central Walthamstow,’ says Anna.

SITTING ROOM An eclectic mix of artwork, textures and colour is cleverly combined to create a warm, rich and lived-in feel. Opposite page: Stead three-seater sofa, £1,154, Wayfair, has this look. For a similar lounge chair, try the Farrah woven rattan chair, £250, Oliver Bonas. This page: Hoxton four-seater sofa, £1,199, French Connection at DFS. Wall in Saxe Blue 1829 chalky emulsion, £40 for 2.5ltr, Craig & Rose at Homebase

After viewing their 1930s house, Anna Lea-Wilson and her husband Sam Silverman knew they had struck gold in their search for the perfect family home. Despite its London postcode, the property sits in a cul-de-sac behind a green and overlooks Epping Forest. The decor, however, had been untouched since the 1950s so needed a total revamp, but thanks to the property’s well-proportioned rooms and peaceful outlook, the couple could visualise it as their forever home.
