Abercorn Place, London NW8 9AN – St John's Wood
St Mark’s Court is an elegant residential development of new homes for sale in St John’s Wood, NW8, one of London’s most prestigious postcodes. The impressive development, which is set to complete this year, will bring five homes to the market, and see 24 existing apartments fully renovated within a late-Victorian mansion block opposite the world-famous Abbey Road.
Located in one of London’s most sought-after neighborhoods, St Mark’s Court is well-positioned close to Abbey Road in the St John’s Wood Conservation Area. The development lies with leafy streets, famous cultural sites and easy local underground and overground transport links to central London.
Sensitively retrofitted and added to, the development retains the character of the existing structure but increases accessibility and function and establishes a visual identity. The design provides additional shared landscape areas and bike storage, all contributing to healthier and less isolated living environments.
The project incorporates a new basement extension that will house duplex apartments with private courtyard spaces. On the upper levels, a new 5th-floor mansard roof and the attic story will create duplex units with private terraces, enhancing outdoor access for residents. The interior layouts follow London space standards, ensuring modern comfort and livability.
The refurbished mansion block includes design interventions that optimize natural light, create better circulation, and integrate new accessible features. The Abbey Road façade will feature elegant bay windows, a redefined entrance with stepped brick detailing, and enhancements such as vertical brickwork patterns and an extended feature chimney along Abercorn Place. The rear elevation is reimagined with new terraces and glazing to improve views and access to green spaces.
St Mark’s Court is an exemplary low-carbon retrofit project. By retaining the existing structure and applying breathable insulation and energy-saving techniques, the development significantly improves environmental performance. Outdoor areas include private terraces, a landscaped garden, and biodiversity enhancements, creating a harmonious blend of heritage architecture and sustainable modern living.

Choosing a floor plan might be tricky, but it shouldn't be so. See 3 quick tips below to pick only the right layout for your new home.
Tip 1 — Measure it all
You might already know your desired square footage when choosing a new home. Generally, more bedrooms mean more space, which also drives up the prices.
However, modern developers offer smart floor plans so you can make better use of the space. For instance, a studio with an open floor plan can be much more efficient and affordable than a typical 1-bedroom apartment with a traditional floor plan.
Tip 2 – Go with the flow
Once you have picked one or several layouts, you need to imagine living in the space. Visualise daily activities like laundry or cooking: is it convenient? Do you have enough space?
Online interior design apps that offer 3D visualisation (many of them are free) are time-savers here. Just download the desired floor plan from 1newhomes, upload it to the website you chose, and get a 3D render to visualise living in your new home.
Tip 3 — Do not neglect flexible space
The current lifestyle dictates its own rules. That’s why you need to consider flexible space in your perfect floor plan to have room for a home office or a gym. In addition, be sure to check that your new flat has a lot of natural light. The importance of the latter goes without saying.
A good floor plan means having all you need in a smartly designed space. We are sure our quick tips help you pick only the perfect layout for your new home.
