Location: Kennington, South East London (SE1)
Project Type:Comprehensive Full House Refurbishment, Grade II Listed Restoration, Ground & Lower Ground Floor Extensions
Key Focus:Seamlessly integrating modern luxury with historical preservation.

The historic borough of Kennington, nestled within South East London (SE1), demands a construction partner with a unique blend of heritage sensitivity and modern technical expertise. Proudly appointed for the full refurbishment of a magnificent Grade II Listed, two-bedroom terraced house in the heart of Kennington. This challenging yet rewarding project was a masterclass in architect-led construction SE1, successfully blending period preservation with contemporary, light-filled living extensions.

The primary constraint of working on a listed property renovation London is the careful balancing act: delivering a high-specification modern home while rigorously adhering to heritage requirements. Our detailed scope covered a complete revitalization of the two-bed terrace, including the crucial expansion of living space via a ground floor and lower ground floor extension, alongside the intricate refurbishment of both the front and rear gardens.

The Challenge of Listed Property Renovation London

To breathe new life into this property, our team undertook a meticulous strip-out, followed by significant structural alterations to accommodate the new extensions. The Kennington Builder SE1 team worked hand-in-hand with the project architect and listed building officers, ensuring that every intervention respected the dwelling's historical integrity. This meant painstaking work restoring original sash windows, preserving ornate cornicing, and utilizing traditional materials where specified.

The key to unlocking the home's potential lay below ground. The lower ground floor extension transformed previously cramped basement areas into usable, bright spaces—ideal for a luxurious media room or a large home office. Simultaneously, the side return extension SE1 at ground level created a vastly enlarged, open-plan kitchen and dining area. This new area features expansive glazing and clean lines, creating a striking contrast with the restored historic features.
