Gilmore House,

Clapham Common North Side, SW4

Built in 1763 and once home to Sir John Walter, celebrated founder of The Times newspaper, this magnificent rococo villa overlooks the green open spaces of Clapham Common and has been transformed into 12 beautiful apartments.

The property offers a superb selection of one, two and three bedroomed apartments each finished to an excellent standard and combining original features with a fresh, modern interior.

A chapel designed by Philip Webb and built for Isabella Gilmore in 1897 has been converted into a vast studio apartment with original stained glass windows designed by Edward Byrne-Jones.

This exceptional Georgian property is Grade II listed and features a blue plaque commemorating Sir John Walter's residence and busts of Shakespeare and Milton set into the front bay window.
