Positioned in the triangle between Streatham, Clapham and Brixton, this beautiful art deco building is home to a considered two-bedroom apartment. Built in 1928, Cameford Court extends in a wide U-shape that surrounds a charming communal lawn. This apartment lies at the rear of the building and has had its original features carefully preserved, with some thoughtful contemporary interventions updating it for easy modern living.
Setting the Scene
Originally a part of Surrey, Streatham transitioned into a suburb of London during the mid-19th century. With the railway station opening in 1856, Streatham became a part of the ever-expanding train network, connecting the city to the newly developed suburbs. It became an appealing spot for city workers, with the later additions of retail centres, glamorous theatres, dance halls and cinemas (many in the distinct early 20th-century style) making it even more widely attractive. Housing stock was developed as a result to accommodate this growing population.
Cameford Court was built in 1928. Long strips of Crittall windows define its front façade, while mature shrubs and flowers characterise the pretty communal gardens in front of the building.
