Parbury Road Refurbishment
Originally a 1930s build, the property sits in
the middle of a terrace row, typical of the
South London properties in the area. The
property was previously converted into two
separate flats and the owner commissioned
Steve Adams Architects to restore the
building to a single home. The project
hoped to renovate the property, restoring
the building to its original orientation
while preserving the period features of the
property.
Having fallen into a dilapidated state, the
building needed significant work to improve
both the appearance and environmental

performance of the building. The property
required stripping back to the core shell
and was extended at the rear and in the
roof. The project took six months to
complete beginning in July 2018 with AAM
Maintenance leading the construction work.
The existing three bedrooms on the second
floor were renovated and a stylish bathroom
installed. In order to expand the property,
the redevelopment utilised the existing loft
space, converting it into a fourth bedroom
and en-suite bathroom. The loft conversion
also allowed for new roof insulation to be
installed.
This combined with the new double-glazed
windows and heating system installed
throughout the building vastly improved the
property’s environmental performance.
Given the property had previously been split
into two homes, the downstairs living area
needed to be redesigned into a family home.
The rear extension, expanded the kitchen and
dining area into a large and sophisticated
living space. The front living room was
renovated, and the distinct curved bay
window restored to leave a large bright and
open space.
