In the tiny ground-floor lounge, a midcentury-modern cabinet holds art books while a huge portrait of artists Gilbert & George hangs above the mantelpiece. Old TV sets and worn furniture lie around. The bathrooms (some shared, others en suite) include both power showers and 1830s wallpaper, unearthed in the renovation and left in all its patchy, uneven glory...
