This project comprised the extension, conversion, and renovation of a residential Victorian property from a single dwelling into two self-contained luxury apartments.
The property lies within the Fitzrovia Conservation Area and restoration was carried out in close liaison with the Conservation Officer and English Heritage.
Premium finishes and fittings were used throughout to underpin the quality of the accommodation and to maximise its marketability.
The renovation was completed within 26 weeks and both apartments were let within 2 weeks of marketing.
