Design Comment

The plan reflects an earlier way of living, with many separate reception rooms. A considered remodel could open the ground floor towards the garden, balance formal and family rooms, and bring services and bathrooms up to the standard of the house. That is potential, not a promise: no consents are mentioned, and whether the house is locally listed or in a conservation area has not yet been confirmed.

Development Consultations

To assist potential buyers of this property to understand their full design and development options, Janine Stone & Co. is able to provide complimentary design concept and development consultations. It can be arranged for these consultations to take place at the property or in our London studio. Janine Stone & Co. will provide guidance on architecture, refurbishment and planning considerations, in addition to helping interested parties to develop their early design ideas into floor plans with estimated project costs and timelines for realisation.

Should a successful acquisition take place, we would be happy to take these initial concepts through to a full concept and subsequent planning, design and build phases.
