Arlington Cottage is one of the oldest buildings in Chiswick

A application has been made to build a new house on the grounds of an 17th century cottages, one of the oldest buildings in Chiswick.

Grade II listed No.1 Arlington Cottages is one of three terraced homes near Sutton Road North. The application is to build a three bedroom house in the grounds of the cottage, and to convert the listed cottage by removing a recent
extension and adding a more appropriate one at the back.

The property dates back to the early 17th Century and is approached via a long front garden with a large mature magnolia tree. Arlington Cottages is a group of three
dwellings set well back from Arlington Gardens, close to the junction with Sutton Lane North.

The design plans says that it will be sensitive to the listed buildings and the surrounding houses and to the generally charming leafy setting in which it is placed.

The applicant, who grew up there continues to reside there with her family and the proposed development means that the cottage will be improved while keeping a smaller garden.

The proposals are the result of lengthy discussions with the planning department at Hounslow Council and consultation with local stakeholders.
