Living and Building in Stanmore

Stanmore sits on high ground at the edge of the borough, with the cottages of Little Common gathered around its old common and the Georgian entrance block of Bentley Priory nearby.

Diagram X brings AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) together for homeowners across a village-like area of historic houses and leafy suburban roads.

Planning in Stanmore

The Stanmore Hill Conservation Area (designated 1975) and Little Common Conservation Area (designated 1970) are two of six conservation areas across Stanmore and Edgware, and Article 4 directions apply to named properties within them.

Listed buildings, including Stanmore Hall, add further heritage consideration.

Refurbishing in Stanmore

Across the area's older cottages, villas and later houses, 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 Stanmore

Hillside plots, listed neighbours and mature trees call for careful structural investigation and sequencing.

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