155–171 Oakhill Road is a Grade II listed private block of flats and rear building in an Arts and Crafts style in Putney, in the London Borough of Wandsworth.[1]
Location edit
The site is on the north side of Oakhill road, opposite St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, and close to the junction with Putney Bridge Road and Wandsworth Park.
History edit
The buildings were designed by architect William Hunt (1854 - 1943),[2] together with his son and partner Edward Hunt (1877 - 1963).[1][3]
Built in 1906, there is a row of four Arts and Crafts terraced cottages in red brick with two storeys plus attic, each cottage had a two-bedroom flat on the ground floor, and a three-bedroom flat above.
The carriage arch between numbers 163/165 and 169/171 leads through to the two storey laundry building at the back.[4]
Current condition edit
Interiors have original features such as green tiled fireplaces and built in cupboards.[5] The laundry building has been used as a commercial office, but as of August 2023 has planning permission for conversion to a four bedroom house. [6]
