Kitchen-diner

A long island design has freed up space for a dining area with banquette seating. ‘The new streamlined kitchen features lots of storage and a pull-out pantry,’ says Sara.

HOME NOTES

WHO LIVES HERE?

Sara Jassim and Tim Dowsett who both work in finance, live here with their children Amelia, nine, and Summer, five, plus cat Sasha and hamster Marshmallow.

THE PROPERTY

A six-bedroom Victorian terraced house in Fulham, southwest London.

THE LAYOUT

The basement has a cinema, gym, two guest bedrooms with en suites and a utility, while the ground floor houses an open-plan kitchen-diner and living area, plus a boot room at the front. The main bedroom with dressing and shower rooms takes up most of the first floor, with a study and shower room at the rear (which could become a future bedroom suite). On the top floor is a large children’s room which can be divided into two with sliding doors.

As full-time working parents of young children, Sara and Tim have transformed their Victorian terrace so that every bit of space works perfectly for busy family life.
