Basement golf simulator rooms in Earl’s Court.
Golf simulator room · a private basement golf room, as we would design itVisualisation
An Earl’s Court golf room needs a whole, unlisted house on a wide plot. Few qualify, so we check early.
An Earl’s Court golf room needs the whole house.
- Whole house
- Needed for the width and the dig
- About 3.0 m
- Clear height makers advise
- One storey
- The CD11 limit, never split later
NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle basement golf simulator rooms in Earl’s Court SW5, under one contract. A new basement dig typically runs £500k to £900k. Converting an existing basement runs £180k to £300k. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.
A golf bay needs about 4.6 m of width and 3.0 m of height. A lower ground flat seldom has both. So this is a brief for a whole house, held as one.
Policy CD11 allows one storey, under no more than half of each garden. The 2016 SPD says it cannot be split into two floors later. So the swing height is set once, at design stage.
Under a listed house, no excavation is allowed at all. Many Earl’s Court terraces are in conservation areas too. A Construction Traffic Management Plan goes in with the application.
We have not built a golf room in Earl’s Court. Close by, in Chelsea, we dug a new lower floor under a townhouse. One team would design, price and build it.
