Title
Villa in Palace Road
Description
The Roupell family acquired land in northern Streatham during the early nineteenth century and by the mid-to-late 1800s had developed an estate of substantial detached suburban villas to attract affluent owners. This view shows a three-storey villa that once stood at 32 Palace Road on the south side of the street. Its stucco frontage is three windows wide having a central entrance with a corniced canopy on pilasters with a stepped approach. The ground floor windows have four columns headed by scrolled consoles and ornate iron sill guards. The villa has a single-storey extension to the left of view, appearing to be a mid-twentieth-century addition. The semicircular driveway is typical of the street, and there is believed to be an adjacent stable block just in view to the right. Palace Road remained a private road until the 1970s, after which the estate was redeveloped leaving only a few surviving villas. The site of this villa is now occupied by Dykes Court on the Cheshire Estate.
