Transforming Southgate Grove
Renovation works to transform 12 Southgate Grove into a modern family home have now completed.
As always with our residential refurbishments we face the never ending challenge of creating contemporary living in period properties whilst retaining as many original features as possible and respecting the limitations of the conservation area planning policies.
The five-month long renovation, which began in November 2022, was undertaken by Erdol Construction. The main feature was to restore the reception areas, including the kitchen, to the raised ground floor as opposed to the lower ground floor where it has been for some time. This means these areas benefit from the wonderful natural light provided by the big sash windows in both the north and south elevation.
All the outside areas have been immaculately restored including a new and inviting entranceway and a fully landscaped and replanted rear garden.

A party powered by Gusty the wind turbine
It’s always good to host a party – but the event held on Benyon Estate land on Monday (November 4th) was a party with a purpose! In partnership with Octopus Energy and the pro-growth campaign group, Britain Remade, we welcomed journalists and guests from the energy sector to a Turbine Build Party to demonstrate the technology needed to tackle climate change.
Albers in the news
Congratulations to Albers – one of our fantastic foodie tenants – who has been hitting the headlines with good news since the opening of its new café on Englefield Road earlier this summer.
Gusty the wind turbine coming soon...
The Benyon Estate is supporting a campaign to help remove planning barriers for the creation of new clean energy in urban areas. As a result of this there is a trial taking place on the yard at the rear of 62 and 64 Southgate Road.
