Norroy Road, Putney, SW15

An encaustic-tiled path and decorative cornicing give Norroy Road its period feel, and this house in Putney keeps them. The house has two receptions, five bedrooms and three bathrooms in all, spread across 1,914 sq ft of two floors and a loft level, decorated in a pale grey-green, with trim in ivory. The kitchen has painted cabinets in warm stone and the floors run from encaustic tiles in the hall to stripped boards beyond. It is a house for people who like the detail of a Victorian terrace with some more room.

Encaustic tiles lead the way down the hall, with stripped boards beyond the inner door.

Sitting room 4.74m x 4.95m (15'7" x 16'3")

A bay window and a period fireplace make the sitting room well proportioned. A rust velvet sofa and a worn Oushak rug would suit it, and full-length heavy linen curtains hanging at the bay.
