About Kensington Grove

Local Window Treatment Experience in Kensington Grove

Most quotes in a 309 parcel subdivision start from an assumption that every house on the street went up the same year with the same window package. In Kensington Grove that assumption breaks. At least four recorded sections with lot numbers past 260 is a staged build out, and staged build outs in this part of Johnson County routinely change window suppliers between phases. A house on Chancery Boulevard and a house on Abbotsbury Court can carry different opening sizes, different stop depths and a different frame profile. So we measure every opening in the house instead of carrying a number over from the last Kensington Grove job, because the last job may have been in another section entirely.</p><p style="font-size:16px;color:#4a5a6a;line-height:1.75;margin:16px 0 0">The second thing that sets this plat apart is orientation. Kensington Grove is curvilinear, built around numerous courts with Haverstock Circle inside it, so lot orientation scatters rather than following the Johnson County section line grid that Smokey Row Estates sits on. Two houses on the same court can take opposite sun. That makes openness factor a per elevation decision here and not a whole house decision: a 3 percent fabric where the great room catches late afternoon light, 5 percent where the same room faces north and the view is worth keeping. Indianapolis runs a July average high of 85.2F under the NOAA 1991 to 2020 normals, and the muggy stretch holds from May 25 to September 22.

We have served Kensington Grove homeowners through the full range of window treatment needs, from inspections and repairs to full replacements. Whatever the system, our Bargersville crew approaches every project with clear communication and respect for your property.

The Housing Here

Kensington Grove housing stock: 309 parcels across four recorded sections

The county parcel layer returns 309 parcels whose legal description begins KENSINGTON GROVE, and that count includes common area platted under the same name, so the number of houses sits a little below 309. Lot size is genuinely sourced: a median near 0.34 acre from a 40 parcel sample of the county ACRES attribute, most parcels between 0.30 and 0.44, plus a single 2.53 acre outlier. Recorded architectural styles are production two story traditional and ranch. What is not sourced is the build era. Johnson County publishes no year built attribute on its public parcel layer, so nobody can hand you a construction year for a specific address on Camden Court, and we will not pretend otherwise.

What can be said is town wide and still useful here. 63.7 percent of every housing unit in Bargersville was built in 2000 or later, and 55.5 percent of the total went up between 2000 and 2019, so a plat of this size and street pattern belongs to that dominant band. That stock is generally square, sits on modern footings, and repeats its opening sizes within one builder's run. The catch in Kensington Grove is the word one. Four sections is not one run. We take a square check and a three point measure on width and height in every room, and we record which section the house sits in, because a future order for the same address has to match what is already hanging.

Built
Not published at parcel level. Johnson County's public parcel layer carries no year built attribute. What is recorded is at least four numbered sections with lot numbers past 260, a phased build out rather than one drop.
Homes
309 Johnson County parcels beginning KENSINGTON GROVE, including common area under the same name. Roughly three to six times the size of the Copperleaf, Bradford Place and Smokey Row Estates plats around it.
Typical size
Home size and story mix not separately sourced. Lots run a median near 0.34 acre, most 0.30 to 0.44 acre, with one 2.53 acre outlier, from a 40 parcel sample of the county ACRES attribute.

Production two story traditional and ranch.
What It Means For Your Windows

What Kensington Grove windows do: four sections, one square check at a time

Plan on 18 to 24 openings for the two story plans on lots this size. That figure is inference from the town's dominant stock rather than a survey of Nottinghill Court, and we say so. Casing depth should be the consistent post 2000 production profile, a nominal 3.25 inch jamb with a flat stop. That is enough usable depth for a flush inside mount on most cellular headrails and on a 2 inch faux wood headrail, and it is the best single piece of news about this housing stock. It is not a guarantee. Four phases can mean more than one window supplier across the community, so depth gets measured to the stop rather than assumed from the neighbor's house.

Shapes follow the era. Transom and arched units over front elevation windows, and palladian gable assemblies, are consistent with what was going up across Bargersville through that period, though none of it is individually confirmed for this plat. Two story great room glass is likely for the same reason. Both raise the same pair of decisions: whether to treat the arched head at all, and where the stack lands when the shade is fully raised. On a 96 inch tall great room opening, a cellular stack can take 5 to 8 inches off the top of the glass. That is the part owners notice after installation rather than before, so we tape the stack line on the wall at the measure appointment and let you look at it.

Four sections, four possible window packages

Lot numbers past 260 across at least four recorded sections means the earliest Kensington Grove houses and the newest are separated by years of building. Opening sizes, stop depth and frame profile can all shift between phases. We measure each house on its own and write the section on the order, so an addition on Coventry Lane two years from now matches the section it belongs to instead of a community average that does not exist.

The 3.25 inch jamb and what it actually buys

A nominal 3.25 inch jamb with a flat stop clears a flush inside mount for most cellular and 2 inch faux wood headrails. It does not clear every shutter frame with a hidden mounting flange, and it does not always clear a roller cassette plus the bracket behind it. We measure usable depth to the stop rather than overall jamb width, because on this stock those two numbers are not the same.

Light gap is disclosed, not discovered

Lutron publishes a 3/4 inch per side light gap on an inside mounted Roller 20/64, and a standard factory deduction of 1/16 inch per side. In a Kensington Grove bedroom facing an east court, that gap shows up as two vertical lines of light at sunrise. If that matters to the sleeper, the fix is an outside mount, a side channel or a light blocking pocket, chosen before the order goes in.

Orientation changes two doors down

Curvilinear streets and courts, with Haverstock Circle in the middle of the plat, mean the sun answer is different on the next lot. We record the compass direction of every elevation at the appointment and set openness per room: 3 percent where afternoon light lands hard, 5 percent where the room faces north and the court view is worth keeping open.

What We Specify Here

What we specify in Kensington Grove

With 18 to 24 openings on a typical two story plan here, whole house consistency is worth more than any single clever product. The most common mistake in a 309 parcel plat is ordering room by room across two or three years, which is how two dye lots of the same white fabric end up hanging in the same upstairs hallway. Fabric is dyed in batches. A reorder eighteen months later will be close and it will not be identical. Order the public rooms and the whole front elevation together, then the rest, and keep the paperwork. Custom work runs 2 to 5 weeks from order to install. Indiana's Home Improvement Contract Act, IC 24-5-11, requires a written contract with scope, dates and total price on residential work over $150.

Cordless cellular shades, light filtering

The default through the bedrooms and the second floor here. Cordless lift takes the operating cord out of the room, which is the direction ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2022 pushed the entire product category. DOE and ORNL testing found cellular shades saved up to 20 percent of heating energy against a bare window, which is not nothing in a climate averaging a 20.9F January low. The 3.25 inch jamb takes the headrail inside.

2 inch faux wood blinds

For the baths and the secondary bedrooms off the courts, where a basswood slat would move with humidity through the May to September stretch. Faux wood holds its shape and takes wiping. It is heavier, so a wide opening gets a center support bracket and the tilt wand goes on the side you actually stand on. Stack height at the top is the trade, and we show it before you sign.

Motorized roller shades

For the two story great room wall, where a manual chain hanging off a 12 foot header is not a serious answer. Hunter Douglas states PowerView battery life at roughly one year, so the honest choices are a hardwired run or planned battery wand changes on a calendar. Travel limits get set at install. Motorized runs $300 to $1,500 per window installed on national figures, not local ones.

Solar shades with openness set per elevation

Because Kensington Grove scatters orientation, we do not push one openness factor through a whole house. 3 percent on the elevations taking late sun, 5 percent where you want to keep the view down the court. Solar fabric slows fade rather than preventing it: NFRC attributes 40 to 60 percent of fading damage to UV, and heat and visible light do the rest.

Getting Around

Kensington Grove streets, schools and an address that argues with itself

Twelve streets carry the plat, named for London districts and English institutions: Chancery Boulevard, Coventry Lane, Aldersgate Drive, Nottinghill Court, Camden Court, Haverstock Circle, Cromwell Court, Abbotsbury Court, Shadwell Place, Westbourne Court, Aldwych Court and Ashby Court. The community sits in White River Township inside the Bargersville fire protection district, every sampled parcel returns CENTER GROVE COM in its school field, and the mail runs to a Greenwood 46143 address. Residents describe themselves as living in any of the three, which is why searches for this place split so many ways. For a measure appointment only the street matters. Give us the court name and the section if you know it.

Common Questions

Kensington Grove Window Treatment FAQ

Questions we hear most often from Kensington Grove homeowners.

Sometimes, and it is not something to stake an order on. Kensington Grove records at least four numbered sections with lot numbers past 260, which is a phased build out, and phases change window suppliers. Even inside one section a factory deduction of 1/16 inch per side means a shade built for a 35 1/2 inch opening will not sit correctly in a 35 inch one. We take three readings on width and three on height in every room and build to the smallest. That is twenty extra minutes at the appointment and it is the difference between an install and a remake.
Usually not, and that is a recommendation rather than a dodge. An arched head can be handled three ways: a fixed arch shutter panel built to a template, a shaped fabric panel that does not operate, or a rectangular treatment mounted above that hides the curve. Roller and cellular hardware cannot follow a radius, so anything that moves has to stop at the spring line. Most owners in Kensington Grove cover the rectangular unit below and leave the arch bare, which keeps the daylight and avoids paying for a panel that never moves. If the room takes afternoon sun, put a 3 percent solar fabric on the lower unit instead.
No recorded covenant was obtainable for Kensington Grove, so we will not tell you an association exists here and we will not invent a rule for it. What is verifiable is a town level control: Bargersville ordinance requires elevations of similar floor plans to carry different exterior elements, and the plan commission denied a developer's waiver from streetscape requirements by a 6 to 0 vote. That ordinance governs elevations, not window coverings. If your closing packet holds recorded covenants, read the section on street facing treatments before you pick a color for the front rooms, because that document governs and our quote does not.
Custom fabrication runs 2 to 5 weeks from the day the order is placed, and nothing in this trade needs rushing. The sequence is a measure appointment at the house, a written quote, then the order. Indiana's Home Improvement Contract Act, IC 24-5-11, requires a written contract with detailed scope, dates and a total price on residential work over $150, which any whole house order in a 309 parcel plat clears comfortably. We are insured and insured. Indiana issues no statewide license for window treatment work, so if someone tells you they are licensed for it, ask what they mean by that.
Openness factor, and it is a numbers decision rather than a taste one. A 3 percent solar fabric cuts far more glare than a 5 percent and gives up some of the view; a 10 percent keeps the view and barely touches the glare. On a west elevation in Kensington Grove during the May 25 to September 22 muggy stretch, 3 percent is usually the right call for the lower units with something more open above. Be clear on what fabric can and cannot do: NFRC attributes 40 to 60 percent of fading damage to UV, so a solar shade slows fade on your floors, it does not stop it.
We can try, and you should hear the limits first. Fabric runs in dye lots, so a piece ordered now against a piece ordered four years ago will read slightly different in the same Kensington Grove hallway, most visibly on whites and light neutrals in a north facing room. Some fabrics are discontinued outright. The honest options are matching the room rather than the window, moving the older units to a bedroom and running new fabric in the public rooms, or accepting a small variance you will notice for a week and then stop seeing. We will show you both pieces side by side before ordering.
