1388 Roof terrace, W11

This image shows the front elevation of a traditional late-Victorian terraced house in Queen’s Park, London, identifiable by its characteristic red brick façade, decorative white-painted stucco window surrounds, and slate pitched roof. The property features a two-storey canted bay window at the front, with ornamental plasterwork between the floors, adding texture and period charm.

The ground floor bay is topped with a painted cornice, and the first-floor bay windows are framed with moulded stucco pilasters. The front garden is enclosed by a low white-painted masonry wall, complemented by a short black wrought-iron fence and gate leading to the neighbouring entrance. The pale blue front door adds a softer, contemporary touch to the otherwise traditional palette.

This house forms part of a cohesive Victorian terrace, where neighbouring properties share similar massing, materials, and architectural detailing. The photo shows scaffolding erected on the adjoining property, indicating neighbouring works in progress.

For this project, the scope of works includes the addition of a full-width rear dormer, an outrigger roof extension, and a roof terrace to the first-floor apartment. These interventions will significantly expand the living space, introducing light-filled upper-level rooms with long views over the surrounding gardens and rooftops. The rear dormer and outrigger extension will be designed to blend seamlessly with the building’s proportions and heritage character, while the roof terrace will provide valuable outdoor space in this urban setting — a rare and highly desirable feature for a first-floor London flat.
