379 AND 381, CLAPHAM ROAD SW9

This is an early 19th century pair of large houses, located at numbers 379 and 381 Clapham Road. Each house is four storeys high with a basement, and features a two-window main block with three-storey side bays set back. The buildings are constructed of stock brick and have parapets. A stuccoed cornice runs along the third floor, and a cill band is present on the first floor. The sash windows are set within gauged brick arches; these are round-headed on the ground floor and within round-arched recesses on the ground and first floors. The outer bays of the main blocks each contain a doorway: number 379 has a six-panel door with panelled pilasters, a cornice head, and a plain fanlight. Number 381 has a modern door within a surround designed to resemble an entablature, with rusticated pilasters.
