7 bedroom house

Rare opportunity to create the perfect family home on a prestigious street close to Holland Park

This generous site is currently occupied by a derelict Victorian villa. However, planning permission has been granted to demolish the property and build a magnificent contemporary family home with a double-fronted traditional façade.

The detailed architects’ plans currently envision a generous open-plan living area with high ceilings on the raised ground floors. Meanwhile, the lower ground floor would offer a spacious open-plan kitchen with dining room and double-height library.

The proposed house would also contain three or four upstairs bedrooms, including an opulent and well-proportioned principal bedroom suite. Furthermore, there is permission for a basement floor with swimming pool and ancillary accommodation.

Current plans envision a property of 1,029 sq. metres or 11,081 sq feet. As a result, this unique property has the potential to become one of the most magnificent family homes in West London.

The current property occupies an unusually generous plot that could become an expansive garden. This would include a large lawn, planted borders and the potential for a summer house, covering almost 700 sq. metres.

The proposed property would also be set back from the street with a gated front drive allowing for off-street parking. Addison Road is lined with grand Victorian villas set back from the street. In the mid-nineteenth century, the neighbourhood was popular with artists, including Lord Frederick Leighton, whose nearby house is now one of the most beautiful small museums in London.

Hollard Park is also a short walk away, and so too Kensington Olympia train station. In addition, the celebrated shops and restaurants of Kensington High Street are within easy reach.
