A historic Arts and Crafts house at One Palace Green in London has been converted into a residential development featuring three apartments, a studio, a penthouse, and a separate coach house.
The History and Architecture of One Palace Green
Originally commissioned in 1870 by George Howard, the 9th Earl of Carlisle, the house was designed by architect Philip Webb for Howard and his wife, Rosalind. Webb, a leading figure of the Arts and Crafts movement, created a home that attracted prominent artists and designers, including William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones. REDD Real Estate bought the property in 2021, restoring period details such as timber paneling, plasterwork, and dado rails while integrating modern systems.
Interior Design and the First-Floor Residence
Martin Kemp Design furnished the first-floor apartment, marking the first completed unit to launch on the market at One Palace Green. The three-bedroom residence retains original high ceilings, large reception rooms, views toward Kensington Palace, and an original fireplace. Designer Martin Kemp utilized moss greens, soft stone, warm earth tones, natural wood, and textured fabrics to establish a relaxed atmosphere within the grand Victorian proportions.
Sales and Market Launch
The first-floor residence is listed for sale at 23.5 million pounds, equivalent to approximately $32 million, which includes the furniture but excludes the artwork. Prices across the broader development start at 15 million pounds, or roughly $20 million. Beauchamp Estates, Savills, and UK Sotheby’s International Realty are handling sales for the property.
Project Collaborators
Architectural work on the conversion was completed by Pilbrow & Partners alongside conservation specialists Donald Insall Associates. Martin Kemp Design managed the interior transformation to return the structure to its original residential function.
