Title
Villa in Poynders Road
Description
This view shows the rear north elevation and the west extension of a mid-nineteenth century villa that once stood at 39 Poynders Road to the north side, the section once known as Queen’s Road. The original Clapham Park was an estate of detached villas with substantial grounds developed by Thomas Cubbitt (1788-1855) after he purchased Bleak Hall Farm in 1825. This villa is two storeys with attic and semi-basement, believed to be of five windows width to its frontage, and is shown having a hipped roof with end chimneys, bracketed soffits, and brick elevations with windows having bracketed cornices. A stucco rear extension has a flat roof, cornices to both levels, five small windows with plain sills and a larger one to the first-floor centre. An offset recess below has steps to a door. To the right, the upper window has been replaced by a door served by a metal fire escape type of staircase. All the windows are boarded with timber planks apart from the left-hand ground floor, which has panelled internal shutters. The two-storey extension shown to the left of view has a tall brick chimney stack presenting pots to a similar level as the main part of the villa, hipped roof, and brick rear elevation with a single door. The site is now occupied by the blocks of flats on the modern-day Clapham Park estate.
