Where to buy in Fulham

Chelsea Harbour is a riverside development of the 1980s which took advantage of an abandoned harbour to create an arena with residential mansion blocks and one tower block. It carries the Chelsea name, but is in fact in Fulham. Lots Road and its power station which may be developed in the near future. Between Lots Road and Kings Road there are a collection of red brick workmen’s cottages. Next to Chelsea Harbour on the West is an area called Sands End. This has now been almost completely redeveloped as the Imperial Wharf development, which will even overshadow Chelsea Harbour as a residential complex by the time it is fully occupied. One particular problem of this area is transport, since the tube line is already overloaded.

The streets on either side of Wandsworth Bridge Road are part of a conservation area known as the Peterborough Estate. The estate was constructed by J. Nicholls. On the west side of Wandsworth Bridge Road, between South Park and Kings Road as far west as Peterborough Road, the estate has large red brick Victorian terraced houses. These are the streets south off New King’s Road from Perrymead Street to Peterborough Road. The estate also extends on the east side of Wandsworth Bridge Road as far as Bagley’s Lane. Between Imperial Wharf and Wandsworth Bridge Road, near the river, are some streets of late Victorian terraces, such as Stevendale Road and the roads off it. They are lately Victorian terraced houses. This is below the Peterborough Estate and the streets near the estate are built in similar style.

West of the Peterborough Estate and south of new Kings Road is the Hurlingham conservation area, containing the Hurlingham Club and Park. Streets include Napier Avenue, Ranelagh Avenue and Gardens, and Hurlingham Gardens on the west side of the Park towards Putney Bridge, with some streets running up to New Kings Road. The houses are mainly large detached and semi-detached houses from the late Victorian era. There are some mansion blocks as well, and also new developments from the late 20th century in some places. Moving on round the river past Putney Bridge, you find Bishop’s Park and its conservation area between Fulham Palace Road and Stevenage Road near the river. The streets of the conservation area include Woodlawn Road and the streets running across it to Fulham Palace Road such as Inglethorpe Street and Doneraile Street. These are mainly late Victorian terraced and semi-detached houses in tree-lined roads, not necessarily as big as those in the Hurlingham area. On the river bank itself there are various apartment blocks, many constructed in the 1970s, but with some very recent prestigious ones, with views across the river to the wildlife sanctuary in Barnes.

Parsons Green takes in Kings Road and Fulham Road and goes up as far north as Bishops Road. Streets such as Delvino Road and Crondace Road in the area just west of Walham Green contain terraces of Victorian houses from the 1890s, many with bay windows. Many of the streets between Kings Road and Bishops Road, such as Whittingstall Street and St Maur Road, contain larger Victorian houses.

North of the Fulham Road, the streets around Dawes Road (extending from Bishops Road to Lillie Road) are packed full of medium sized terraced houses built at the end of the Victorian and into the Edwardian era. The more attractive properties are to the south in streets such as Brookville Road, Rosaville Road and Parkville Road

On the other side of North End Road is Fulham Broadway, also known as Walham Green, although what remains of the green is called Eel Brook Common. There are large Victorian houses here and Walham Grove itself is a conservation area. The houses are generally in terraces built in the 1860s. Seagrave Road and Brompton Park Crescent are the limits of this area. Beyond are the railway lines and the Chelsea football ground. On the other side of Fulham Road lies Moore Park Road and streets crossing it as far as King’s Road. There is a variety of Victorian houses, from mid to late period, including terraces and detached houses. Although these are very close to Chelsea football ground, they are physically separated from the roads approaching the club.
