155–171 Oakhill Road
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]
