Acacia Road, St John's Wood, NW8 - https://www.black-brick.com/expertise/case-studies/acacia-road/. Acquired for repeat clients wanting more space. The firm secured a house off market for £12,000,000 on one of the most sought after addresses in St John's Wood. The house benefitted from a carriage driveway with off street parking for several cars and a garden. It also had the added benefit of planning consent to extend.
