Kensington sits north of Chelsea, across the museums and the park. Many of the houses were built for one family and later split into flats.

Stucco terraces are the usual stock, tall and white, often around a communal garden. A lower ground floor is common, and a basement below that.

Kensington sits inside the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Its basement policy, CD11, applies here too. One storey only, and no more than half the garden. Source: RBKC Local Plan 2024, read on 7 October 2026.

We work floor by floor here, from a single flat to a whole house. A detailed budget estimate is usually with you within seven days.

Case study

Five kinds of job, one contract.

  1. Architecture

    Kensington’s stucco terraces were often built for one family. We assess how the current layout splits into flats or one whole house.

    Read the service

  2. Interior design

    A lower ground floor is common here. Interiors plan the transition from ground level down before finishes are chosen.

    Read the service

  3. Basements

    Kensington sits inside the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. A basement below the lower ground follows Policy CD11.

    Read the service

  4. Extensions and lofts

    Communal gardens sit behind many Kensington terraces. An extension is designed around what the garden and Policy CD13 allow.
