Residential prospectus

The following short piece of copy was prepared for a residential trust’s promotional brochure on which the paragraphs are separated by photographs.


Denholm Place is an attractive, quiet residential estate of 60 apartments in west London. Set opposite a village green, the four blocks were built in 1935, and feature a communal garden flanked by cedars and rose bushes. The internal communal areas feature original brass fixtures and Art Deco stair-railings.

Denholm Place is particularly quiet for London, with no main roads adjacent to the grounds. The 1930s architecture ensures that the separating walls within the apartments are thicker than those found in modern builds, and noise does not travel between properties. Outside, there are noise curfews and motorcycles are required to be turned off and walked into the estate.

The estate is managed by Norton Property Management Ltd, with executive decisions made by the board of a residential trust. All flat owners are automatically trust members and entitled to vote at annual and extraordinary general meetings.

The Trust is also strict about building and renovation work, with no such activity allowed on weekends or Bank Holidays, and at least a week’s notice given to all affected residents covering the type and duration of any work.

There is limited parking within the grounds of the estate, and there are an additional 30 garages which, every so often, become available for sale or rental.

A caretaker is on site between 8am and 4pm, Monday to Friday, and the gardens are tended by a professional grounds-keeper.

The service charge covers all hot water and heating, which is supplied by communal boilers.

Denholm Place is conveniently located for both the underground via the Central line, and the overground.
