Linver Road, Fulham, SW6

Yellow stock brick and stained-glass door panels announce a house that has been looked after rather than remade. Linver Road's gothic-revival terrace keeps its sash windows, and the interior has been restored with care: herringbone parquet in a mid-brown tone, deep skirtings and walls of sage green with woodwork in cream. The house covers 1,466 sq ft with a kitchen, a sitting room and a family room on the ground floor, and a north-west-facing garden. Off-road parking is a bonus.

Hall 1.81m x 3.71m (5'11" x 12'2")

Tiles cover the hall floor, and a pine staircase with turned balusters rises ahead. The walls are sage green and the deep skirtings are painted cream.

Sitting room 4.81m x 5.59m (15'9" x 18'4")

A period surround frames the fireplace, where a wood-burning stove now sits, and a cut-glass pendant lights the room. A ticking-striped sofa lies across a Turkish rug of generous length, a leather club chair is set against one wall and tall cotton curtains are hung from a brass pole at the sash windows. It is the kind of sitting room that invites a second cup of coffee.

Family room 4.14m x 4.55m (13'7" x 14'11")

The family room is a flexible space with underfloor heating, comfortable in every season. It could be a dining room, a playroom or a study.

Kitchen 3.44m x 4.58m (11'3" x 15'0")

Painted cream cabinets, oak worktops and a black range cooker give the kitchen an old-fashioned warmth, and a window over the sink faces the garden. Table lamps take over from daylight in the evening.

Principal bedroom 4.48m x 4.37m (14'8" x 14'4")

Large and almost square, the principal bedroom includes a fitted desk.

Bedroom 2 3.04m x 4.13m (10'0" x 13'7")

The second bedroom also has a built-in desk and is long enough for a double bed and a chest.

Bedroom 3 2.73m x 2.86m (8'11" x 9'5")

Fitted wardrobes line the third bedroom, a small, square room suited to a child.

Bathroom 1.98m x 2.44m (6'6" x 8'0")

Quietly updated, the bathroom has a freestanding bath as its centrepiece.

En-suite 1.71m x 2.04m (5'7" x 6'8")

A second freestanding bath is fitted in the en-suite, a compact room beside the principal bedroom.

The garden faces north-west and gathers the evening sun in summer, and it is a green space for sitting out in May, when the foliage is fresh. Off-road parking is part of the property. Spring sunshine and scattered white cloud give the rooms a clear, bright light.

Parsons Green, Fulham Broadway and West Kensington are all District line stations around Fulham, and Imperial Wharf has London Overground services. Fulham Palace, the Grade I listed former residence of the Bishop of London, is a significant local landmark. Bishop's Park and Hurlingham Park give the neighbourhood its main open green spaces.
