Project Overview
A careful upgrade for a quiet Westminster address
The brief was straightforward: bring a well-located but tired flat up to a standard the client would be happy to live in for the next decade, without over-capitalising on the building’s structure or losing the period character of the street.
Ebury Road sits in the residential stretch between Victoria Station and Ebury Square, a community-focused Westminster neighbourhood with a strong local identity. The apartment occupies the raised ground floor of a stucco-fronted Victorian terrace, with bay windows to the front and a private garden outlook at the rear.
The design retained the existing room layout — which was already well-proportioned — and focused investment on finish quality. The kitchen was replaced with a bespoke shaker design in a muted sage green, combining quartzite worktops with open shelving and integrated appliances. The en-suite was rebuilt around Carrara marble, with a walk-in shower, heated towel rail, and wall-hung basin.
Engineered oak herringbone flooring was laid through the hallway and reception rooms, with restored original timber boards in the bedrooms. Sash windows were overhauled with draught-proofing and new ironmongery, and the entire apartment was redecorated in a warm, tonal scheme of putty, stone, and off-white.

Scope Delivered
What the refurbishment actually changed
En-Suite Rebuild
The en-suite was stripped and rebuilt with Carrara marble wall tiles, a frameless walk-in shower, underfloor heating, and upgraded extract ventilation.
Sash Window Restoration
All sash windows were overhauled with new cords, weights, draught-proofing brushes, and period-correct ironmongery to improve thermal and acoustic performance.
Flooring & Decoration
Engineered oak herringbone in the social spaces, restored timber boards in the bedrooms, and a complete redecoration in a warm tonal palette throughout.

Outcome
The details that mattered most on site
Working within a conversion
The apartment shares walls and floors with other flats, requiring careful noise management, waterproofing, and coordination with the freeholder.
Sash window condition
Several sashes had deteriorated sills and broken cords. Each was repaired individually rather than replaced, preserving the building’s architectural consistency.
Budget discipline
The brief was to deliver a beautiful finish without over-spending. Material selections were edited carefully to maximise impact where it mattered most — kitchen, en-suite, and entrance hall.
A home that feels settled
The completed apartment is warm, considered, and properly finished — a place the client was happy to move into immediately without a single additional purchase.
