Richmond house sold

The Orangery, Richmond, designed for County Gate Properties has recently sold. The asking price for the 5 bedroom detached house was £2.5 million. The project involved the substantial remodelling of a 1960 building, reinvigorating the layout and sprucing-up the interior and exterior. The house now has a much more dignified character and provides modern family accommodation.

An increasing number of one-off houses involve the retention of existing buildings as local planning authorities like the London Borough of Richmond respond to the issues of sustainability and conservation. We are able to bring our experience of working with historic buildings and conservation areas to these project so that the positive character of the old can be joined with contemporary design and meet the demands of modern family life.

Construction Starts on Sloane Street Houses

Construction has now started on 113 & 114 Sloane Street, London. The main contractors Haymills will over the next 15 months substantially rebuild and refurbish the properties. Originally two Georgian townhouses they were greatly altered by Victorian and Edwardian improvements. Later in the last century the upper facades were rebuilt and the interior heavily sub-divided. The planned work, costing over £3 million, will undo much of the damaging later work and return the houses to their rightful grandeur.
