Hammersmith Renovations: Maximising Space in West London Townhouses

Hammersmith sits at the confluence of West and Central London, with excellent transport links, a vibrant riverside and a dense stock of Victorian terraces and townhouses that families consistently choose for their combination of size, character and connectivity. When W6 homeowners renovate, the challenge is specific: how do you unlock the full spatial potential of a terraced townhouse without compromising the period features that give it its appeal?

A Hammersmith townhouse renovation typically focuses on the ground floor — extending the rear by three to five metres, removing the internal party wall between the original ground-floor rooms, and creating a single, open-plan kitchen, dining and living space that opens through glazed doors onto a garden terrace. The upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms are refurbished as part of the same project. The result is a home that works far better for modern family life while retaining its Victorian bones.

Planning and Building Regulations in Hammersmith and Fulham

Hammersmith falls within the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. Most rear extensions to residential properties can proceed under permitted development rights — up to three metres for a terraced house, with an additional three metres possible through the neighbour consultation scheme. Properties in conservation areas and those subject to Article 4 Directions will require planning permission, and the design will be assessed against the borough’s Local Plan and the specific character of the conservation area.
