There is something quietly noble about restoring a house in a way which respects its history, and at the same time carefully modernises it for the next generation.

​

Original brickwork that is repaired and repointed, sash windows newly crafted in a way that has evolved, but remains largely unchanged in 125 years.  The architectural detailing and grand reception rooms of the Victorian era, given a new life.

​

Canted bays, an arcade of round headed windows, a recessed entrance doorway beneath a pediment on carved consoles, with the original name of the house cut into the stucco above.

​

And yet, inside, little else but the proportions remain.  Reimagined under the expert guidance of Newman Zieglmeier architects, Holme House is a series of spaces which maximise the home’s dual aspect, towards Queen’s Park itself, and south too.

​

Spaces which evolve as the sun casts its changing light, time moving from a summer morning’s coffee on the terrace, to a cosy autumnal dinner around the dining table.

​

A principal bedroom suite, with views towards the Quiet Garden and a bathroom reminiscent of sunnier climes. Three further bedrooms, each with its own bathroom.  Reception rooms which allow space for families to be together, and for noisy teenagers too.

​

All the while, the meteoric rise of Queen’s Park continues. Described by the Financial Times as London’s hottest culinary corner.

​

The UK’s best farmers’ market every Sunday.  Don’t Tell Dad, Carmel, Casa Felicia and The Salusbury.  London’s newest Third Space.  Pilates and yoga studios, women-only workspaces, and the park itself - the Quiet Garden, children’s farm, tennis courts, pitch and putt golf and a Victorian bandstand.
