The living room before Daisy’s redesign
Miss Edgar-Jones, 24 – who told Elle magazine ‘I’m shocked at how much I still love London’ – is already carrying out home renovations, including new windows and a skylight.
The actress, who rose to fame on Normal People, spent time in the United States for her Hollywood debut in which she played abandoned child Kya.
A neighbor said: ‘She hasn’t moved in yet. Normal People was very successful, so I’m sure people will recognize her.
Her apartment is set over two floors in a detached Edwardian house and includes a living room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom on the first floor and two bedrooms on the roof, with a terrace.
The cozy bedroom also has stunning natural floors
Period style: Exposed floors in the kitchen-dining room
In May, the actress filed a planning application to replace the windows with new wood and double glazing as well as to install a skylight.
All details of the original window will be reproduced.
Miss Edgar-Jones, who rose to fame playing Marianne in Normal People, is the only daughter of Wendy, an editor, and Philip, the director of Sky Arts.
She was born and raised in Muswell Hill and was educated at a private school and state sixth form college while training with the National Youth Theatre.

Miss Edgar-Jones starred alongside Paul Mescal, who played Connell Waldron, in the BBC’s adaptation of Sally Rooney’s Normal People.
It chronicles the secret affair between two Irish teenagers from different backgrounds and follows their on-and-off relationship as they move to Dublin and into adulthood.
His current big-screen role is as the lead in the adaptation of Where the Crawdads Sing, the bestselling 2108 novel by Delia Owens, from Reese Witherspoon’s production company.
It tells the story of Kya, a little girl abandoned by her family, who grew up alone in the swamps of the deep South. After the death of a man she was once involved with, Kya becomes the prime suspect in a murder investigation.
