We purchased a former taxi MOT garage that was tucked away behind a row of houses in Carthew Road.
The property had planning permission for 2 houses. This was not very satisfactory as a lot of space was wasted to allow for access and circulation. In addition, there was little privacy as both buildings looked in on each other.
We have obtained permission to build one, very modern, house of c 3,000 square feet. This has been designed by the 2012 Young Architects of the Year nominees, vPPR Architects.
We are currently debating whether to sell it with the benefit of planning permission or to construct it.
