Listed Building Refurbishment in Holland Park.
Listed houses reward care and punish shortcuts. We have refurbished Grade I listed houses on the Regent's Park terraces and Grade II houses across central London, and the approach is the same each time: understand what is significant about the building, design interventions that are reversible and well detailed, and secure listed building consent before work starts.
In practice that means new kitchens and bathrooms that do not damage historic fabric, services run in existing voids, sash windows repaired rather than replaced, and plasterwork, joinery and floors restored by trades who work on listed buildings every week. Modern comfort and a historic interior are not in conflict if the detailing is right.
For a property in Holland Park we check the National Heritage List and the conservation area maps published by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea at the first visit, explain exactly what is protected, and prepare the heritage statement, drawings and application. Conservation officers generally support schemes presented this way.

Holland Park: the houses and the planning rules.
Holland Park has the largest houses in west London: detached Italianate villas on Holland Park itself and Addison Road, the studio houses built for Victorian painters on Melbury Road, and the stucco crescents of Norland. Plots are generous, gardens are deep and the planning authority protects both.
The work we see here is at the top end of the residential market: whole-house refurbishments with new services, basements under the larger villas, garden rooms and pool houses, and interiors finished to a standard that matches the architecture. Programmes run for months, and coordination with neighbours and the borough is part of the job.
The Norland, Holland Park and Royal Crescent conservation areas cover the district, and many of the villas are listed.
Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
RBKC decides applications. Detached villas are assessed on their setting within the conservation area, and roof extensions and side additions are tightly controlled.
Basements
Large plots make basements possible but the borough's single-storey, half-garden limit still applies, with a full impact assessment.
Listed studio houses
The Melbury Road studio houses are listed; internal changes need listed building consent and specialist heritage input.
