This stunning home ‘Newlands’ measures approximately 9,400 SQFT on one of the most prestigious roads in Radlett, with accommodation spread over four floors including the basement. The appearance of the building follows the vernacular of the area and provides imaginative design features creating an element of distinctiveness and architectural interest. The house was built to an extremely high specification and has many standout features including a bar, cinema and games room in the basement. A fully equipped gym which also includes a 14ft boxing ring. Externally there is a swimming pool and Astroturf football pitch.  

As the project had a substantial basement, the design of this had to be carefully considered in relation to the structure, fire safety, damp proofing and drainage system. The property had to consist of a protected hallway/landing, continuous piling foundation, delta tanking and drainage pumps which allowed the water to discharge to a higher level. 

The house features energy-efficient light fittings, resulting in reduced energy consumption for lighting. Additionally, the installation of mechanical ventilation with heat recovery contributes to fresh air circulation and heat conservation from exhaust air, thereby lowering heating energy requirements. The building’s remarkable efficiency is reflected in its B-rated Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). All doors and corridor-facing walls are fire-resistant according to relevant standards, and the house boasts an LD2 Grade A fire alarm system in line with BS5839. The ground floor ensures accessible entry with a level threshold, while door widths and the WC comply with Part M4(1) accessibility guidelines.
