Living and Building in Harrow on the Hill

Harrow on the Hill is a village on a steep hilltop dominated by Harrow School and the Norman-origin church of St Mary, with the 1615 Old Schools and the church both listed Grade I.

Diagram X brings AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) together for homeowners in the houses that grew up around the school, including many Victorian, Edwardian and Arts and Crafts homes.

Refurbishing in Harrow on the Hill

Behind period frontages, most interiors have had little meaningful updating in decades, so refurbishment starts from open, light-filled layouts and modern performance.

A genuinely worthwhile period feature earns its place when retained, but a confidently modern result inside is always the starting assumption.

Construction in Harrow on the Hill

Steep slopes, listed neighbours and tight village plots call for careful structural investigation, specialist access and sequencing.

We plan for these from the outset, so the Hill's historic character and its individual homes are both well served.
