I had been in to the garden at the Glasshouse in River Lane a few times but it was not until Open House London 2013 that I was able to get inside.Not that there were many surprises as the walls facing the garden are almost all glass so a lot of the house is visible from the outside.
The long side of the house has a kitchen area (shown here) and a separate dining area of a similar size that form one large room.
In the corner of the almost L-shaped house is a wide corridor that leads from the kitchen/dining area to the sitting room. It also contains the staircase to the upper level.
The sitting room has the garden on two sides so is very light and has great views. The garden is bounded by a high wall so it is very private, expect when visitors are in the garden.
Above the corridor is a reading area that cannot be seen from the garden so it was nice to be able to go inside the house to discover it.
There are some bedrooms and bathrooms above the kitchen/dining area but these are not very interesting rooms and they were not all open to visitors. The one that was is spacious but it is just a room with a bed in it and I cannot get too excited by that.
It's very California. Or perhaps homes in California are very England, it works both ways, I guess. Sometime I wish you would post what camera equipment you use, settings, etc. I am always trying to learn. Very nice photos.
