115 Ladbroke Road

Set in a prime position on a gently sloping street in the heart of the Ladbroke Conservation Area, this handsome period house had a front boundary that did it few favours: a low timber fence which distracted the focal point away from the principal elevation, a tired entrance area which comprised a variety of additions that did not speak as one design and various other features which were dilapidated and generally did not fit a property of this scale, siting and location. We were appointed to imbue the house with qualities that would enhance its presence on the street with a discreet but confident design that accentuated the focus on the main features of the property - namely the imposing pilasters and its massing.

The fence was replaced with an extended new masonry boundary wall, detailed with a carefully chosen brick that was approved hand-in-hand with the Conservation Officer, specific bond, mortar specification, recessed decorative panels, coping and movement joints, and stepped down with the fall of the pavement so the terrace reads as one continuous frontage for the first time. The piers were refurbished and a new pedestrian gate installed to create a fantastic entrance and approach to the property which felt secure and premium.
