Introducing: Clarendon Road 🌿 We are excited to share some of our latest work on this recently completed project located in the highly sought after leafy street in Holland Park. This exceptional residence is the result of meticulous work from our project team at each stage, from planning all the way through to the final specifications and finishes. Valouran’s design team worked closely with the architects to achieve the optimal planning consent for the site, with careful consideration of the space planning and ‘flow’ of the home. We were able to increase the building’s footprint from 3,412 sqft to 7,850 sqft, using our strong relationship with RBKC - more than doubling of the original area. This project included the addition of a basement level to the residence, with an incredible 3.4m ceiling height, flooded with natural light which provides wonderful extra accommodation for this home including a cinema and games room as well as a gym and further bedrooms. The space is bathed in light from intelligently placed lightwells throughout the space. Adding to this sense of light and space, on the garden level, a 3m “wall” of floor to ceiling glazing now connects the large garden with the family spaces and kitchen, creating a seamless connection with nature and the landscaped garden beyond. The stone, cantilevered staircase at the house is one of the most remarkable and stunning features of this home and creates a ribbon of magic that connects each floor. E detailing of this demonstrates Valouran’s commitment to impeccable design in every corner of their developments. The principle bedroom occupies the entire first floor of the house, providing an elegant spacious ‘suite’ of rooms which includes dressing rooms and bathrooms for both him and her featuring exceptional joinery and exceptional marbles and detailing. Clarendon Road now comprises 7 bedrooms, wonderful family spaces and living areas, a best-in-class home gym, beautiful bar area, along with staff accommodation and off-street parking. Residences of this specification and size are a rarity and we are delighted to add this project to the Valouran portfolio. 

Very excited to announce another fantastic project with The Marcus Cooper Group and MorenoMasey on Elsworthy Road #property #propertydevelopment #luxuryproperty #luxurydevelopment #londonproperty
