Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: 47 Leigham Court Road A four-storeyed house of yellow stock brick, probably built around the 1860s. Dormer windows break into the eaves which have very pronounced brackets. To the left can just be seen the original two-storey coach house, and a mature Holm Oak stands in the front garden. In 1868 it was occupied by John Wilkinson who owned Dining Rooms in Gracechurch Street. It is within the Leigham Court Road (North) Conservation Area.
Leigham Court Road was laid out in 1839, and while development began in the early 1840s, it didnt really take off until after the building of the Crystal Palace and West End Railway and the opening of Streatham Hill station in 1856. Quite a number of the original, large Victorian houses survive at either end of the road, and even though their grounds have in some cases since been built on, the remaining mature trees and general landscaping have enabled the area to retain much of its original arcadian character.
