“An elegant garden apartment in one of southwest London’s most coveted neighbourhoods”
This beautifully composed Victorian home sits on handsome Tremadoc Road, on the tranquil fringes of Clapham Old Town. Over 700 sq ft of meticulously renovated space spans a lateral layout, with generously proportioned reception rooms and a bedroom opening directly onto a private garden. A wealth of period features remains, including a sash bay window, intricate cornicing, restored floorboards and elaborate tiled fireplaces. In spring, the rear garden flourishes with hydrangeas, fuchsias and climbing roses, while the grassy, wooded expanse of Clapham Common is only a short stroll away.
Setting the Scene
Tremadoc Road is primarily lined with late-19th- and early-20th-century Victorian brick terraced houses. The homes feature smart London stock brick-and-stucco façades with red-painted detailing, along with prominent bay windows and a dentilled cornice. The current owners have recently repointed, repaired, and redecorated this particular home.
The Grand Tour
The building is set back from the street behind a shared wrought-iron gate, and the apartment’s private entrance is from a fine communal entrance hall on the ground floor.
The front door opens onto the heart of the home, a voluminous space defined in two parts: on one side, the reception room sits illuminated beneath the large bay window, casting light deeply beyond the borders of the room, while opposite, uninterrupted sightlines reach through the kitchen to the garden at the rear. The reception room is painted a lovely dark green by Little Greene, and restored hardwood flooring runs through to the kitchen, decorated in bright, white tones. The original cornicing adds a touch of craftsmanship, and the elegant tiled fireplace matches the one in the kitchen.
The current owners have lovingly renovated the kitchen, pairing cream-painted cabinetry with rich Danish oiled oak surfaces and a tiled splashback that matches the green walls of the previous room. Bespoke shelving is fitted above the units, and appliances are integrated throughout. A bright passageway opens to the garden and provides additional storage. This space could easily be used as a study area, with ample room for a desk and chair.
To the rear of the plan, a short flight of steps descends to the bedroom. Soft carpet runs underfoot, and the room is finished in a soothing green-and-white pairing. There is space for freestanding wardrobes. Large windows on two sides fill the space with light, and a door leads to the garden. The adjacent bathroom has a built-in bath, a walk-in shower and underfloor heating.
The cellar has space for utilities and additional storage. New central heating with Hive Smart Home controls has been installed throughout the apartment. Corston architectural detail antique brass switches and sockets have been installed throughout, other than the kitchen.
The Great Outdoors
A spacious fenced garden extends at the rear of the house, with recently replanted borders filled with perennials, including climbing roses, fuchsias and hydrangeas. Newly laid paving beneath provides opportunities for outdoor dining in warmer months.
