Listed Building Refurbishment in Marylebone.
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 Marylebone we check the National Heritage List and the conservation area maps published by the City of Westminster 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.

Marylebone: the houses and the planning rules.
Marylebone is where Space Cucina started, as a kitchen company on Seymour Place. The district is a grid of Georgian and early Victorian streets laid out by the Portman and Howard de Walden estates: flat-fronted brick terraces, stucco around the squares, mews houses behind, and the great mansion blocks of Marylebone Road and Baker Street.
Most of the housing is now flats, from mansion-block apartments to lateral conversions across two houses, which makes refurbishment here as much about approvals and logistics as about design: licences to alter, estate consent, parking suspensions and lift access all shape the programme. We have refurbished bathrooms on Marylebone Road and fitted kitchens for clients across the district.
The Portman Estate, Harley Street and Dorset Square conservation areas cover almost all of it.
Westminster City Council
Applications go to Westminster. Almost the whole district is within conservation areas, and many terraces are Grade II listed, so internal changes to listed houses need listed building consent.
Estate consent
On the Portman and Howard de Walden estates, the freeholder's own approval is needed in addition to planning, with their own design guidance for windows, roofs and rear elevations.
Mansion flats
Block rules govern working hours, deliveries and noise. We plan the programme around them and coordinate with the managing agent.
