Title
Villa in Poynders Road
Description
This view shows the rear of a derelict mid-nineteenth century villa which once stood at 40 Poynders Road on the north side. This end of the road was originally 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 shown as being of two storeys with semi-basement, having a hipped slate roof, end chimney stacks, brick elevations three windows wide with rendered basement level and a central corniced enclosed porch. The soffits have brackets, and the sash windows have console bracketed cornices. Some of the panes are broken and the ground floor interior shutters are shown closed, the right-hand window frame having slight Gothic styling. The rear door is served by broken steps and iron handrails with decorative spindles. There are shrubs and a small tree growing around the porch and steps. The villa has a substantial lean-to conservatory to its east side elevation and there is a detached two-storey brick stable block with a hipped roof to the right of view. The site is now occupied by the blocks of flats on the modern-day Clapham Park estate.
