​Holland Park | Period House: Additions, Refurbishment & Restoration

Set on the sought-after Addison Avenue in Holland Park, this period stucco house has undergone a comprehensive programme of extension, addition, and complete refurbishment, transforming a classic 2,750 sq ft property into a home that comfortably balances period grandeur with the practical demands of modern family life.

Working with one of Holland Park's most desirable stucco terraces, the project required a careful hand to introduce new accommodation without disrupting the architectural integrity that makes the area so distinctive.
 

Among the most significant interventions was the addition of an orangery, extending the ground floor living space and introducing a bright, garden-facing room that connects the house directly to its newly landscaped rear garden. A loft conversion with dormer window added further accommodation at the top of the house, making full use of the property's vertical scale without compromising its stucco façade or streetscape presence.
 

Across its now-expanded footprint, the house accommodates three bedrooms and five bathrooms, alongside a double reception room, double kitchen diner, TV room, and dedicated utility and laundry space. This breadth of accommodation reflects a brief built around genuine everyday family living, with the orangery and TV room in particular offering the kind of relaxed, informal spaces that period houses of this type were rarely originally designed to include.
 

The specification throughout has been developed to complement the house's period character while delivering a thoroughly contemporary standard of comfort. A bespoke kitchen anchors the double kitchen diner, while bespoke wardrobes bring tailored storage into the bedrooms without disrupting their original proportions. Luxury bathrooms across all five bathrooms maintain a consistently high standard of finish, and underfloor heating paired with air conditioning ensures the house performs well year-round, addressing the practical shortcomings often found in period properties of this vintage.
 

A particular highlight of the specification is the bespoke marble fireplaces, fitted with bioethanol burners to bring warmth and presence to the reception rooms without the complications of traditional flues — a detail especially valuable given the architectural sensitivities of extending a period stucco house.

Bespoke wall and floor finishes add further depth and texture throughout, while careful attention has been paid to preserving and restoring the property's original period features and detailing throughout the untouched parts of the house.
 

The result is a Holland Park home that successfully reconciles ambitious extension and addition work with genuine respect for its period stucco origins — a property that offers considerably more space and function than its original form allowed, while remaining entirely at home within one of the area's most desirable streets.
