Detached Victorian house in South Woodford, East London

Having lived all over the world Michelle and Neill Vanlint knew that when they finally set up home it had to be traditionally English. Their detached house on the Essex borders has all the markings of a traditional English Victorian home. They decorated the house with pieces of furniture acquired abroad. The dining furniture is from Sri Lanka and inspired the rich brick red on the walls, whilst the foot stool at the foot of the bed from Tokyo and lends a colonial look to the master bedroom.
