9, Putney Hill and The Pines, 11, Putney Hill

No 9 and No 11 (The Pines) on Putney Hill are a symmetrical pair of houses built around 1870. They feature a four-storey tower that is two windows wide, flanked by three-storey wings with a basement. The houses are constructed of pale gault bricks with artificial stone dressings and have hipped slate roofs on the wings.

The tower has a central flight of stone steps leading to a Corinthian double porch in antis, with a cast iron pierced balustrade above. The upper three storeys have tiers of windows that are recessed in brick arches. The structure is topped with a cornice and a blocking course, which has cast iron railings between urn finials at the corners, along with a weather vane.

The wings include a ground floor canted bow with a cast iron window guard above a bracketed cill. The first floor features a tripartite window with a console keyblock for the centre light and console brackets supporting a cornice. The second floor also has a tripartite window.

There are stacks with oversailing courses. A pale gault boundary wall surrounds No 11, which has a well-crafted iron tracery gate and piers.

A plaque on No 11, erected by the London County Council in 1926, commemorates the poet Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909) and his friend Theodore Watts-Dunton (1832-1914), who both lived and died here.
