A RARE CHANCE TO ACQUIRE AN UNMODERNISEDFREEHOLD MEWS HOUSE

WITH FULL PLANNING PERMISSION TO ENLARGE AND REDEVELOP

The project has been progressed to the point of being ready to commence construction to enlarge the existing footprint

from 1,481 sqft to create a large lateral-floorplate family house of 2,602 sqft over four-storeys, in an extremely private and discrete location

in the heart of SW1.

The property would suit a prospective purchaser looking to build their ‘dream home’

to create a bespoke residence tailored to their own specific personal style.

The current property is a 3-bedroom two-storey mews house located in an end-of-terrace south-facing corner position in a very quiet cul-de-sac. It is currently laid out over ground and first floor levels, with

a further attic room and substantial loft space naturally lit by skylights. It is exceptionally spacious and bright, being filled with natural light due to the benefit of possessing windows on three sides,

with rear and side aspects out over quiet adjoining garden courtyards.

This property offers a unique opportunity to acquire an unusually deep-footprint mews house ready for upgrade, with planning consent and fully detailed architectural, engineering, and interior designs

for complete new-build redevelopment.

This unmodernised property has been primed ready for upgrade;

the project has a full consultant team appointed, detailed construction plans drawn up,

party wall awards negotiated with neighbours, and Westminster’s construction management plan

submissions signed-off.

A competitive tender process has established robust project costs,

selected suitably-experiencedbasement and main building contractors, and is ready for a prompt start on site.

The property will appeal to buyers keen to create a bespoke home who value the benefit of the

de-risked project advancement carried out to date, enabling them to progress quickly without the time,

expense and uncertainty of undertaking the full design and planning process themselves.

The architecture and interiors have been designed to a very high-specification finish

- as detailed at the end of this brochure - and these design proposals are illustrated

by a gallery of computer-generated visualisations over the following pages.

EXCLUSIVE OUTDOOR SANCTUARY

The property comes with the benefit that the legal title has the protected right to maintain key access to the private gardens, barbecue area,

and tennis court of Eccleston Square (for a small annual membership fee).

These gardens are meticulously cared for by a dedicated team of gardeners for the exclusive benefit of the square and mews residents;

having won numerous awards for the best garden-square in London over recent decades, the tightly-restricted access is now highly prized in the neighbourhood.

PRIVATE GARDEN IN ECCLESTON SQUARE

Enjoy peace and relaxation within the beautifully landscaped mature gardens of Eccleston Square. The gardens provide

ample space for exercise as well as offering a spacious outdoor sanctuary; tranquil space

to escape the hectic pace of the city.

A children’s climbing frame and play-area, a private all-weather tennis court,

and a dedicated barbecue and picnic area are all maintained for residents’ use.

Page 16: ECCLESTON SQUARE MEWS London SW1

Eccleston Square is considered one of Pimlico’s premier addresses; the square and its adjoining mews were planned as a 3-acre site in the 1840’s by Thomas Cubitt, London’s leading master builder of that era. His renowned stucco-fronted terraces, leafy squares, and private cobbled mews streets can be seen throughout the prime residential neighbourhoods of Belgravia and Pimlico.

Buckingham Palace, Tate Britain, The Saatchi Gallery, Westminster Abbey, The Houses of Parliament, Whitehall and much of central London’s prime heritage and Royal Parks are located within easy walking distance.

There is a fantastic choice of prestigious local schools close by, including the renowned Westminster School, Francis Holland School, Sussex House, and Eaton Square School.

This end-of-terrace house nestles at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a private mews road (not adopted by the highway) which creates an extremely discreet, secure and private location. Simultaneously it is conveniently close to all the local shopping, culture, cafes and restaurants of Pimlico, Lower Belgravia, and the recently regenerated Victoria, as well as a multitude of transport links (British Rail, Gatwick Express Victoria, Circle and District lines).

Close nearby are the boutique speciality shops and restaurants of Elizabeth Street and Eccleston Street, the antique shops on Pimlico Road, the weekly farmer’s market in Orange Square, Peter Jones on Sloane Square, and the designer boutiques of Sloane Street and the King’s Road.

In recent years this private mews has been substantially upgraded, and has acquired a reputation for its strong community and regular convivial residents’ street parties.

DEVELOPMENT PROJECT PARTICULARS

STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING:All requisite Structural Engineering design calculations, drawings, and supporting Structural Methodology Statement (SMS) for both the basement excavation and new structures have been produced by suitably-qualified structural and civil engineers at Elite Designers Ltd.

GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATIONS:A 10-metre deep borehole - with associated laboratory analysis - has been carried out by Fastrack Site Investigations Ltd to analyse geotechnical and hydrological site conditions, as well as an excavated trial pit to establish existing and adjoining building foundation details.

FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENT:Technical research into the local site flood risks - established at safe “low” to “very low” levels - has been carried out by Evans Rivers and Coastal Ltd.

PARTY WALL AWARDS:Schedules of Conditions have been drawn up and Party Wall Awards have been painstakingly negotiated with all 14 freehold and leasehold title owners in 5 adjoining buildings by an impartial Party Wall Surveyor at Spencer Architecture Ltd in accordance with the legal requirements of the Party Wall Act 1996. These awards are awaiting a start-on-site commencement date prior to execution.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT & DELIVERY:A competitive tender process has been undertaken between five suitably-experienced main building contractors, and a preferred construction team has been selected. A fixed-price industry-standard JCT Building Contract has been drawn up, the construction programme has been established at a sensible 11 months, and robust project costs are defined (and while confidential, can be shared with a successful purchaser).

Momo & Co Design Ltd have also been retained to provide ongoing professional project management by overseeing delivery of the project during construction.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT PLAN:In accordance with the requirements of Westminster City Council’s ‘Code of Construction Practice’ legislation effective from July 2016, a detailed Construction Management Plan submission has been prepared and submitted by the selected main contractor and their specialist basement contractor, governing procedures, rules, and restrictions that apply to the project for the duration of construction works on site. This submission has provisionally been signed-off by Westminster’s Environmental Inspectorate officers (subject to any final client amendments).

AN UNUSUALLY DEEP & BRIGHT MEWS HOUSE, READY FOR UPGRADE:The current property is a 3-bedroom two-storey mews house located in an end-of-terrace corner position on the north-west side of Eccleston Square Mews, which falls within the Pimlico Conservation Area. The location is extremely quiet and private, and the footprint of this property is the deepest and largest of all 37 terraced houses in this mews.

It is currently laid out over ground and first floor levels, with a further attic room and substantial loft space naturally lit by skylights. Unusually for a central London mews house it is filled with natural light, with aspects on three sides; ontop of five windows in the front elevation, it is currently served by five windows in the rear elevation and a large window on the side elevation fronting onto Belgrave Road, all of which look out over quiet adjoining garden courtyards.

A team of professional consultants have been appointed to undertake the full design and planning process, including structural engineering design, detailed technical research and site analysis on geotechnical and hydrological site conditions, party wall awards, and a bespoke interior fit-out design and specification. Over £160,000 has been expended to date progressing the project ready to start construction; the appointed consultants are summarised below.

ARCHITECTURE & PLANNING:An award-winning architect-led design team at Studio-Q Developments Ltd have drawn up contemporary designs for a comprehensive new-build redevelopment of the property to create a reconfigured four-storey 4-bedroom family house, to suit the existing property owners.

Extensive consultations with neighbours and the local planning department, and a series of four planning applications over a number of years were required to secure full planning consent for the proposed redevelopment. Permission under application ref. 18/09016/FULL was granted by Westminster City Council dated 17.12.2018, which remains valid for construction to commence within 3 years.

Plans and photographs of the existing property, as well as the proposed architectural and engineering plans and technical reports can be viewed and downloaded from the planning submission documents on Westminster City’s Planning website, under ‘Property History’ or the ‘Application Reference’ above, or at this weblink: https://idoxpa.westminster.gov.uk/online-applications/propertyDetails.do?activeTab=relatedCases&keyVal=001QFKRPLI000

INTERIOR DESIGN:A fully detailed interior fit-out design and specification package has been drawn up by Momo & Co Design Ltd. Notable bespoke elements include a comprehensive hand-crafted joinery package, oversized sliding glazed pocket partition-doors, an extremely large sliding glass rooflight, and a unique cantilevered ‘floating’ staircase (example details illustrated overleaf). If preferred, a purchaser would still have the scope to refine the interior design and specification to create a bespoke home tailored to their own specific personal needs and style.
