This charming three-storey 1960s house with garden forms part of a small terrace designed by Edward Hollamby, located on an attractive and quiet residential street. This particular house was sympathetically renovated approximately eight years ago.
The ground floor formerly contained an internal garage and a bedroom, but this has been opened out to form a bright kitchen and dining room using vintage 1930s glass bricks inserted into the front elevation. There is also a generous utility room.
On the first floor is a well-proportioned reception room with leafy views over the garden, and a study/sitting area at the front where the kitchen used to be. The second floor contains two double bedrooms, both with built-in storage, and a bathroom.
The interior is presented in very good condition, with original features including an open-tread staircase, a timber room divider / storage unit on the first floor, and original doors and door furniture throughout. The windows on the first and second floors have been replaced with timber-framed double-glazed units in keeping with the originals. A few years ago the current owners also replaced the covering for the flat roof, and added extra insulation. They have added under-floor heating on the ground floor; the upper floors have retained the original warm-air heating system, which is run from a separate boiler.
The house and its terrace are one of a small handful of modern houses designed for infill sites by the talented Lambeth borough architect Edward Hollamby, who had previously worked under Leslie Martin (architect of the Royal Festival Hall). For more information, see the History section.
Horsford Road is a quiet residential street off Brixton Hill. Brixton Underground station is a short walk away, offering quick links to central London via the Victoria Line. All of the shops and facilities of Brixton and Clapham are close at hand, and open space can be found at Brockwell Park to the east and Clapham Common to the west. Click here for a MAP.
