The house is a four storey Grade II Listed property on three floors in Central London; it was in poor condition with few historic details remaining when the owners bought it. We received Listed Building and Planning Consent to restore the house and reinstate period details throughout. There was some remaining historic panelling and paintwork which was restored.
The panelling and stairs were repaired.
 
A section of the original panelling was uncovered during the works, repaired, and the historic paintwork stabilised.
 
The top floor was turned into a master bedroom suite with the bathroom and wc built into purpose made joinery. An existing glazed roof light was restored and blackout blind installed.
 
A marble tiled shower room was installed adjacent to a guest room.
The house has a small walled garden which was refurbished and laid with York paving.
