Key Details

Overview

27 Fawcett Street is a prominent corner freehold building on the South-East of the junction between Fawcett Street and Finborough Road in Chelsea, London SW10.

27 Fawcett street is situated within the Borough of Kensington and although not listed, it falls within the Boltons Conservation Area. Originally built in the mid-19th century as a single house, the property was subdivided into 5 flats (over 5 floors) in the 1950s, with the main entrance being positioned on the Fawcett Street elevation.

The building required updating and developer Leufroy had planning approved that includes alterations and extensions to provide 6 flats. The proposals include a front lower-ground partial infill to the light well, a rear lower-ground infill and a rear second-floor partial extension to the closet wing with a terrace above. To minimise the visibility of the lower ground extensions, flat green roofing is proposed. A light touch glazed connection has been proposed for the front extension so that none of the existing features of the building such as the corbeling is obscured. The project was completed in Q4 2022

Leufroy's proposals have been carefully considered to maintain a positive contribution to the historic and architectural character of the Boltons Conservation Area, and making enhancements where possible.
