Grade II Listed · circa 10,000 sq ft · Clifton, England
7 Litfield Place
Berkeley Place was appointed to restore and renovate 7 Litfield Place, one of Clifton’s finest Grade II Listed residences. The commission followed a recommendation from the client’s private bankers, who had admired the exceptional standards achieved during Berkeley Place’s renovation of the adjoining No. 6 Litfield Place.
Working seamlessly with leading London-based interior designers, heritage architects and specialist structural and building services engineers, Berkeley Place carefully balanced the preservation of the property’s historic significance with the creation of an elegant contemporary home.
A key technical challenge was the installation of a six-storey passenger lift, facilitated by excavating two additional basement levels beneath the existing structure. These complex structural works demanded meticulous planning, an exceptional understanding of construction inside heritage buildings and close collaboration with the design team to protect the integrity of the Listed building.
Sophisticated mechanical and electrical engineering systems, intelligent building controls and discreet modern services were successfully integrated to enhance comfort, energy efficiency and environmental performance without compromising the historic fabric. The project also featured a bespoke Smallbone kitchen, complemented by exceptional joinery and luxury interior finishes.
Through disciplined programme management, rigorous cost control and uncompromising attention to quality, Berkeley Place delivered an outstanding heritage renovation that combines sensitive conservation, advanced engineering and exceptional craftsmanship, creating a timeless home that respects its architectural legacy while embracing modern living.
