Our challenge was to construct a four-bedroom town house over three storeys including basement in a parcel of land abutting two Georgian properties within the Chelsea Conservation Area. It was like “doing heavy concrete work with the hand of a delicate artist”.

Hampstead is renowned for its upmarket boutiques, gastropubs and restaurants, as well as its Georgian buildings and alleyways. It’s also where Stockbridge is creating new possibilities and living spaces in prime properties.

Basements come in all shapes and sizes. As Stockbridge works in desirable, high-value districts, we understand the paramount importance of avoiding any impacts on adjoining or neighbouring properties, as mistakes can be very costly.

As home designs and services have become a standard part of the mass-market, so the demand for original design solutions has increased among discerning clients. Many now demand tailored, high-end features to create unique spatial designs that more closely reflect their individuality and tastes.

The Covid lockdown have injected a great deal of unpredictability into the schedules of many a property developer – and this was certainly the case concerning the refurbishment of a large three-bedroom, ground-floor apartment in a grand Belsize Park townhouse last year.

Stockbridge Design & Build was commissioned by Swan Homes last year to deliver a shell-and-core solution for an exclusive residential and commercial development in leafy Fulham, south-west London.

Developers looking for contractors to deliver part or all of their development projects is a significant source of our work. Stockbridge recently completed two such schemes, both on prestigious private estates in leafy surburbs either side of the south London-Surrey border.
