73-79 Knollys Road, SW16

Description

A opportunity for Developers / Investors to acquire the airspace above 73–79 Knollys Road, London SW16, with planning permission granted for the creation of two high-quality residential flats.

Located on a peaceful residential street, this development blends the appeal of a quiet neighbourhood with outstanding transport links and proximity to local shops, schools, and amenities. An ideal opportunity for developers, airspace specialists, and investors.

The existing building at 73–79 Knollys Road was originally constructed with structural capacity and design considerations to support future upward extension, making it ideally suited for airspace development. With the foundations and load-bearing elements already accommodating the potential for additional units, this project offers developers a streamlined path to construction, reduced structural intervention, and enhanced build efficiency.

The proposed development comprises two generously sized, two-bedroom apartments, each thoughtfully designed to maximise light, space, and liveability. Both units benefits from two private balconies each, offering exceptional views across the surrounding South London skyline.
