Heritage Conversion & New-Build Residential | 43 Houses and Apartments

Strategic acquisition of an 8.74-acre estate centred on a locally listed Manor with planning consent for 43 build-to-sell homes, through heritage-led architectural sensitive restoration of original materials and traditional craftsmanship conversion, sympathetically designed new-build elements. The scheme benefits from prime adjacency to the new 100-hectare Hole Farm Country Park, enhancing residential appeal within the affluent Brentwood commuter market. 

Enabling works underway with construction commencing April 2026 and forecast practical completion December 2027. The development targets proven buyer profiles within a constrained supply market with strong London connectivity via the Elizabeth Line.

Purpose-Built Rental (BTR) | 33 Apartments

Comprehensive redevelopment of a former office building delivering a 33-unit build-to-rent scheme in a well-established Surrey commuter location. The planning-secured project benefits from planning & permitted development consent, vacant possession, and a stripped-back structure, providing cost certainty and accelerated delivery within the established Byfleet/Weybridge rental market.

Construction due to commence September 2026 with forecast practical completion January 2028. Providing income-led diversification within the wider portfolio.

HOME_CURRENT_PROJECTS

This site was unconditional purchase of two separate dwellings in the heart of Chelsea.
 
Planning permission was gained to amalgamate the two dwellings into one large town house along with creation of extra floor space.  

We managed the design and construction budgets to create a beautifully designed and newly refurbished Grade II listed Victorian townhouse.
 
The house was sympathetically restored to retain a host of original and period decorative features, whilst integrating the latest technology suitable for a modern lifestyle.

The site was purchased subject to the division of a large unusable space into two separate tittles. Planning permission was gained for the separation of the property. 

The design and construction was managed and had to overcome significant licensing requirements and restricted access.  

A two bedroom lateral apartment was created to provide luxurious and modern living space which was converted from an eight bedroom apartment.
 
Inspiration was taken from the New York loft apartments and contemporary art galleries.
