BLOCK were hired to restore a distressed Victorian 2 bedroom lower ground property in Stoke Newington. The challenge was to create a modern, light, open plan home, whilst reintroducing period features such as the cornicing, fireplace and skirting boards.

The property had long suffered from damp problems so before the new kitchen, bathroom and decorative features such as the marble fireplace and cornicing could be fitted, all walls in the property received a new render and damp treatment.
