246, Fulham Road

This is a house built between 1801 and 1802. Originally one of a pair, the house on the left was demolished around 1989. It is three storeys high with a basement and is faced with stock brick, with yellow brick used for the gauged arches over the windows. The original hipped slate roof remains. Windows and a shop front were inserted around 1878 when the building was used by a firm of undertakers. A marble threshold leads to the shop, which has brass letters spelling "FUNERALS" inset into the stonework.

The ground floor front room contains Victorian shop fittings, including shelves with turned supports and mirrors. The rear ground floor retains the original 1802 interior, featuring original doors, cupboards, a sash window with shutters, a chimney piece with reeded ornament, and cornices. The ground floor passage has original panelling and a lunette over the inner door. The basement contains original stairs, doors, cupboards, and a tiled floor. The staircase has a closed string with scrolled ornament on the lower flight, and a distinctive hinged mechanism for lifting the lowest flight dating from around 1878. It has slender columnar newel posts, plain square rails, a swept handrail, and is lit by a tall, original 21-pane sash window.

On the first floor, the front rooms have a reeded cornice and six-panel doors with shutters. The rear first-floor rooms retain original doors, cupboards, and a sash window with shutters. The front second-floor rooms have original doors, cupboards, and a fireplace fitted with a mid-19th-century coal grate. The windows on this floor were replaced around 1878, but the shutters remain. The rear second-floor rooms have original doors, cupboards, a sash window with shutters, and panelling below.
