Poplar Road, Wimbledon, SW19

London stock brick with stucco detailing, sash windows and stained-glass panels to the door give this arts-and-crafts-influenced terrace its Victorian outline, and the inside has been quietly redone in a minimal, greige-and-charcoal scheme. Wide pale ash boards run underfoot, full-height doors have concealed hinges, and the lighting is recessed or linear, so no fitting competes with the architecture. The house covers 1,451 sq ft; its plan gives four bedrooms alongside three bathrooms, plus a pair of reception rooms, and includes a loft room lit from the rear dormer.

Hall 1.88m x 3.09m (6'2" x 10'2")

A cloaks cupboard lines one wall, and the stripped-pine staircase with turned balusters stands out against the greige plaster.

Sitting room 3.99m x 5.86m (13'1" x 19'3")

A bay window and a wood-burning stove give the room its character. An oatmeal bouclé sofa stands on a tonal stone rug beside a glass side table, motorised blinds are set at the window, and a linear LED pendant runs along the ceiling.

Study 2.91m x 3.20m (9'7" x 10'6")

Fitted shelving lines one wall of the study, which is a snug room by the front door and suits a desk and a chair.

Kitchen 3.23m x 4.34m (10'7" x 14'3")

Charcoal handleless units are topped with stainless steel, and a window over the sink brings daylight into the work area. The fittings are cool and uncluttered, and the room is compact but well planned.

Cloakroom 0.91m x 1.87m (3'0" x 6'2")

A very narrow cloakroom with a basin and wc.

Principal bedroom 3.50m x 4.74m (11'6" x 15'7")

The principal bedroom is fitted with a desk along one wall, and still leaves space for a large bed with a bedside table each side.

Bedroom 2 2.92m x 3.56m (9'7" x 11'8")

Another built-in desk makes the second bedroom suited to a child's room.

Bedroom 3 2.54m x 3.69m (8'4" x 12'1")

A third desk occupies the end of this narrower bedroom, which would suit a single bed or a study.

Bedroom 4 3.34m x 3.57m (10'11" x 11'9")

On the second floor, fitted wardrobes make this the tidiest of the bedrooms, set under the slope of the roof with a rear dormer window.

Bathroom 2.23m x 3.09m (7'4" x 10'2")

Herringbone tiles cover the main bathroom, adding a little pattern to the calm palette.

En-suite 1.95m x 2.11m (6'5" x 6'11")

A freestanding bath stands in the en-suite, which is a small room.

Bathroom 2 2.40m x 2.92m (7'10" x 9'7")

A second freestanding bath is set into the top-floor bathroom, a quiet room under the roof.

The garden faces south and is a pleasant place to sit through the day. Off-road parking is provided with the house.
