Description
The Estate
Span is perhaps the most celebrated of all 20th-century British residential developers. Many of the developments they worked on throughout the south of England are now listed. They are known for their outstanding yet simple modern architectural style and considered landscaping.
Parkleys Estate is an astonishingly well-maintained example of Span's work. It demonstrates many of the tropes that came to define the firm's later style, including a hanging tile façade, ribbon glazing and considered use of ironmongery, signage and colour scheme. For more information, please see the History section below.
The Tour
The apartment is on the ground floor of Herrick Court. Entry is to a short hallway with plenty of storage leads through to the main living spaces. Full-width wooden framed windows stretch across the living room, offering a panorama of the luscious treetops that ensconce the estate. Many original Span features have been retained, including a reeded glass partition between the kitchen and living space with original wooden panels placed top and bottom. The original bookcase sits above the tiled hearth surrounding the newly installed wood-burning stove. Grey marmoleum runs throughout the apartment, exemplifying the architectural commitment to simplified living.
The kitchen is at the back of the plan and has the original Span sink with a grooved wooden drainer and recessed storage cupboards that blend seamlessly with newer stainless steel additions.
A corridor from the living room leads through to the bedrooms and bathrooms and is framed by a beautifully crafted wooden surround - a testament to the eye for detail throughout the home. Secluded views across the gardens are afforded by its corner position. Original built-in wardrobes finished in teal and grey provide plenty of storage in this generously proportioned room.
The second bedroom has dual-aspect windows that wrap around the corner of the building. An adjacent bathroom has had a sympathetic update to the Span aesthetic: a Duravit basin and WC, white tiles, Lusso matt black fixtures and fittings, and a heated towel rail have been added. There is a full-height deep storage cupboard at the end of the hallway.
The communal areas are of particular note in this estate; they have been impeccably executed with decorative brick, glass and bespoke Span details that have been lovingly maintained. Each apartment has a private external store, and there are communal drying and bike storage rooms.
Outdoor Space
Parkleys, like many Span schemes, is renowned for its expansive meticulously maintained communal gardens that wrap around the estate. Mature flowering trees give the area a woodland feel while the lawns give all residents access to generous outdoor space. The corner position of this apartment gives the illusion of exclusivity.
The Area
Ham is a picturesque district in south-west London, located between Richmond and Kingston-upon-Thames. It unfurls around a large, open common and is renowned for the quality of its period architecture, the most notable example of which is Ham House, described by the National Trust as “the most complete survival of 17th-century fashion and power”.
Ham Common Woods Nature Reserve is a five-minute walk away and runs towards the expanse of Richmond Park beyond. There is a parade of shops in Ham, including a monthly farmers’ market, plus wider shopping and dining opportunities in Richmond and Kingston.
Less than a 20-minute drive (or around a 15-minute cycle) away is Twickenham, which we've written in greater depth in our Journal.
Richmond Station is around a 10-minute drive, or 18-minute bus, away, and has both Overground and Underground (District Line) services, in addition to National Rail services into central London. Kingston Station is an 11-minute bus from the house and runs South Western services into the city.
