Situated on one of the most distinguished avenues in Holland Park, this property presents a rare opportunity for redevelopment on an expansive and generous plot. Currently occupied by a Victorian villa in need of significant renovation, this site offers the potential to create a contemporary residence that could redefine modern living in one of London's most sought-after neighborhoods.
The existing structure spans approximately 7,341 square feet and is set within equally sizeable gardens. With full planning permission granted for complete demolition and redevelopment, there is a unique chance to design a new double-fronted home that extends over 11,000 square feet. The approved architectural plans, crafted by 23 Architecture + Interiors, feature a traditional exterior seamlessly blending into bright and airy interiors. Notably, the project qualifies for VAT exemption, which adds another layer of practicality to this investment opportunity.
The proposed layout includes formal reception areas on the raised ground floor characterized by lofty ceilings that enhance the sense of space and light. The lower ground level boasts plans for an expansive open-plan kitchen and dining area anchored by a striking double-height library—creating an inviting heart of the home. Upper floors feature several well-appointed bedrooms, including a principal suite equipped with dual dressing rooms and en-suite bathrooms. Thoughtful designs for children's bedrooms and guest suites further enhance the property's appeal.
A noteworthy element of this redevelopment is the planned basement level, which aims to offer extensive leisure amenities rarely found in central London homes. This space is envisioned to include a swimming pool, gym, spa facilities, and a games room alongside necessary staff accommodation and service areas—creating a private retreat beneath the main living spaces.
Encompassing approximately 11,081 square feet in total living space with over 8,000 square feet of landscaped gardens—including possibilities for sweeping lawns and additional structures like a summer house—the outdoor area complements the indoor features beautifully. A gated front drive ensures off-street parking while providing privacy.
Addison Road stands as one of West London's prestigious addresses known for its striking detached villas set within lush surroundings. The area's creative heritage is rich; once home to prominent artists like Lord Leighton, it now retains an artistic legacy that contributes to its charm. Nearby Holland Park offers green spaces filled with formal gardens and woodlands alongside recreational facilities such as tennis courts.
Amenities are abundant; Kensington High Street is just southward, providing access to upscale shopping options and vibrant dining venues. Transportation links are conveniently close as well—with Kensington Olympia within walking distance along with access to Central and District line services—ensuring ease of travel
