The global pioneering property developer and placemaker Valouran, founded by Alex Michelin and Matthew Robertson, announces the addition of a new residential project to their rapidly expanding portfolio, 24 Cadogan Square.

VALOURAN SECURES PLANNING CONSENT FOR GRAND LISTED KNIGHTSBRIDGE HOUSE, 24 CADOGAN SQUARE

This project demonstrates the versatility of the company and sees the size of their central London development portfolio increase to over 445,677 sq. ft. of development with a value of over £ 1.1 billion.
Showcasing the diverse expertise within the firm, this exceptional planning and listed building consent sees significant value added to an impressive Grade II listed terraced house, with connecting mews, in Knightsbridge’ s finest garden square. The main property which faces onto Cadogan Square will be fully restored to its original grandeur with voluminous ceiling heights and extensive entertaining spaces. The approval also permits the derelict mews house located at the rear of the property to be partially rebuilt with a modern aesthetic, connecting through to the main house to provide a swimming pool and spa area, new first floor snug and private garage.
Spanning 8,578 sq. ft. the five-storey building on the coveted west side of this storied garden square is located in the Hans Town Conversation Area. Currently vacant, the project is a joint venture between Valouran and the Marcus Cooper Group. Valouran’ s designs see meticulous and careful recrafting of this palatial house to deliver a family home comprising a total of 4 bedrooms, 4 reception spaces as well as two kitchens, two expansive roof terraces with uninterrupted views, and a lift.
To preserve the stylistic character of the house, the approved plans ensure the retention of traditional leaded and oriel bay windows, fireplaces and doors. Acknowledging the artistic craftsmanship of the original interior, period ceilings and walls with decorative detailing, along with historic timber panelling, will also be carefully repaired and reinstated.
