The cream stucco fronted period property is located on Acacia Road, one of the most sought-after streets in NW8, and currently offers 3,660sq ft of living space.
But at least £1.5 million has been added to the property’s price tag because the current vendors have obtained planning permission to double the size of the living space to 7,619sq ft.

The £10 million house is in a conservation area, where buildings have a unique and distinctive architectural and historic character.
This means that gaining planning consent from Westminster Council for any major extension work or external changes is especially difficult.

However, consent is in place for the new owner of the Acacia Road house to open up the exterior wall to create an imposing wide frontage, spacious driveway and large front and south-facing back garden.
Proposals for the new layout would add a two-storey basement to the existing four floor building as well as a side extension and a lift to all floors.

Vic Chhabria, director of Rescorp Residential said: “The property is the first house off Acacia Road, situated metres away from Avenue Road, where houses typically sell for £20-£40 million.
“We estimate that it will cost £3 million to undertake this exciting project, which will enable whoever buys the property to put their own personal stamp on the interior design and the specification.
