My friend and I were discussing new and old houses today and we both agreed that older homes have a certain charm and soul. Something about their history pulls at your heartstrings. I think you’ll find this to be true when you tour today’s charming English brick cottage located in London.

Open the front door and be drawn into the ambiance of this house with its painted woodwork and a surprisingly modern light fixture. The stairs caught my eye with their well-worn treads showing years of activity.

The kitchen provides ample space for cooking. A white-washed brick wall serves as the backdrop for dark blue cabinets. The wood counter top creates an earthy, organic vibe.

The dining room pairs a mid-century modern sideboard with a farmhouse table while floor-to-ceiling windows keep the old English home from being dark and dreary.

The bathroom also features white painted brick walls like the kitchen. Notice the strange brick work above the steel beam. Quirky elements like this make this English brick cottage a unique home. The bathroom sink is made of concrete – yet another fun and surprising feature.

Many old houses don’t have long straight hallways that you see in newer homes. The owners gave the walls and doors a continuous two-toned paint scheme. A desk gets tucked in a corner for a makeshift office.
