Preserving the character of a late-Victorian Highgate Home

Stanhope Gardens in Highgate N6 is characterised by substantial late-Victorian semi-detached houses, many built in red brick over three storeys and distinguished by prominent bay windows, varied rooflines and decorative architectural detailing. These individual features give the street its grand character and make the retention of original windows and joinery particularly important when properties are refurbished.

For this residential project on Stanhope Gardens, Highgate N6 5TT, Landmark Windows worked alongside both the client’s design partner and construction partner to deliver a carefully considered programme of timber window restoration, upgrading and replacement.

The project centred around two principal services: preserving and upgrading the original front elevation sash windows, while introducing completely new bespoke hardwood sash windows where required to the rear.
