This impressive stuccoed villa, occupying a prominent corner plot, presents a significant renovation opportunity for investors and homeowners alike. With a generous area of 10,290 sq ft and secured planning permission for extensive internal alterations, this property can be expanded to approximately 15,000 sq ft, allowing for remarkable customization and enhancement.
Originally constructed in the 1860s by distinguished architects William and Francis Radford under the approval of Lord Holland, this residence embodies historical charm with its Italianate architectural style. The high ceilings and grand architectural details provide a brilliant canvas for restoration and modernisation.
The expansive ground floor features a spacious drawing room and a light-filled dining room enriched by its triple-aspect bay windows, setting the stage for luxurious living. The first floor hosts a principal suite, complemented by eight additional rooms and three bathrooms distributed across the upper floors. The lower ground floor offers versatile reception areas that can be tailored to meet various lifestyle needs, including provisions for an impressive 33-foot swimming pool.
Outside, the large garden affords off-street parking for at least four vehicles, with planning consent in place to develop two further storeys beneath the residence. Additional outdoor spaces include a private balcony off the principal suite and two patios on the lower level.
A noteworthy feature is the existing passenger lift within the structure; it stands out as planning permission does not permit further additions of this kind. This property is ideally located in Holland Park, just moments from its renowned park and Kyoto Garden, as well as within walking distance to both Holland Park and Notting Hill Gate underground stations.
