Burnfoot Avenue, Fulham, SW6

Burnfoot Avenue, in Fulham, has recently seen new houses added among the older terraces, and this one is a mid-terrace of three full storeys in dark brick with large glazing, a frameless glass balustrade and a roof terrace. It is a house for people who like colour and are not in awe of period detail. Mustard yellow and teal run through the rooms, chequerboard-painted boards cover the floors, skirtings and window frames are colour-blocked, and there is a mix of vintage finds and modern pieces. In all it has a reception room and a study, four bedrooms and two bathrooms, extending to 1,338 sq ft, and a floating oak-tread staircase with a glass balustrade rises through the middle.

Hall 1.92m x 3.93m (6'4" x 12'11")

A cloaks cupboard stands beside the entrance, and the floating oak-tread staircase begins in the hall, its glass balustrade keeping the space open.

Living room 4.15m x 4.20m (13'7" x 13'9")

High ceilings and a wood-burning stove in a flush plastered chimney breast make the living room feel generous for its square footprint. A mustard sofa stands on a colourful Moroccan-style rug beside a lacquered side table, and striped blinds and a scalloped fabric pendant add to the pattern.

Study 2.95m x 2.87m (9'8" x 9'5")

Fitted shelving lines the study, which is a small, square room set aside for working.

Kitchen 3.29m x 4.88m (10'10" x 16'0")

Cabinets in teal and terracotta, in two tones, are built around an integrated oven and hob, and the cheerful scheme gives this part of the house a lively feel.

Cloakroom 1.18m x 1.94m (3'10" x 6'4")

The cloakroom is a convenient ground-floor room with a basin and wc.

Principal bedroom 4.00m x 4.09m (13'1" x 13'5")

The principal bedroom, almost exactly square, has a built-in desk and and takes a double bed without trouble.

Bedroom 2 3.27m x 3.22m (10'9" x 10'7")

The second bedroom has fitted wardrobes and is of similar size, a comfortable double.

Bedroom 3 2.85m x 3.42m (9'4" x 11'3")

Fitted wardrobes line the third bedroom as well, a modest room that suits a child.

Bedroom 4 2.95m x 3.76m (9'8" x 12'4")

A sash window lights the bedroom on the top floor, a room with a quiet outlook.

Bathroom 2.08m x 2.56m (6'10" x 8'5")

A freestanding bath and a green glazed basin on a brass stand set the style of the family bathroom, among teal tiles.

En-suite 1.75m x 2.71m (5'9" x 8'11")

The en-suite has a shower enclosure and a coloured vanity under a scalloped mirror, in herringbone tiling.

Two outdoor spaces come with the house: a west-facing garden at the back, which catches the evening sun, and a roof terrace reached from the top of the house behind a frameless glass balustrade. The house has no parking of its own.
