Alton Road, London SW15

“With the dual pitched roofs and the timber weathering to a silver-grey patina, the result is reminiscent of alpine dwellings” – LAB Architects

Alton Road is a quiet, leaf-draped street in southwest London, nestled between Richmond Park and Putney Heath. Set within the arresting new build of Roehampton Lofts by LAB Architects, this bright maisonette spans close to 1,000 sq ft across two storeys, with two spacious bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom, and lateral open-plan living. In addition to its proximity to some of southwest London’s most celebrated green spaces, a collection of sought-after, private outdoor spaces opens from every room, lending the home an enviable connection with the outdoors.

The Tour

A striking combination of Kebony brise-soleil cladding, tonal mortar-less brickwork, and gabled zinc roofs defines the building's exterior. Inside, the design is equally as considered, with a distinguished high-specification material palette that speaks to its contemporary construction and underfloor heating throughout.

The home has a private entrance within a front courtyard garden with well-maintained borders and secure bike storage. The open-plan kitchen-living room occupies the entire ground floor and opens onto the private rear garden. At its core is the kitchen, with a minimalist aesthetic grounded by a marble-topped island and sharp, crisp lines. Engineered oak boards run throughout the space and in most rooms.

Elsewhere, a large storage cupboard and separate WC are tucked under the stairs.

The first floor houses the two bedrooms, each featuring a modern en suite bathroom and bespoke plywood wardrobes. Both rooms are bright and well-sized, overlooking the front and rear gardens, respectively; the front bedroom opens onto a spacious timber-clad balcony with space for a table and chairs, while the rear bedroom overlooks the garden from a Juliet balcony.

Outdoor Space

The maisonette features two gardens: a prettily landscaped front garden with hedging and an ornamental cherry tree, creating a welcoming approach, and a private rear garden with timber decking extends directly from the living space, creating a natural setting for outdoor dining and relaxing. Both spaces could accommodate a creative potted planting scheme.

There is free on-street parking directly adjacent.

The Area

Alton Road sits in a leafy pocket of West Putney and Roehampton, framed by the exceptional green expanses of Putney Heath and Richmond Park. The vast open spaces of Wimbledon Common are also within easy reach, providing thousands of acres of woodland, trails, and open countryside ideal for morning runs, weekend walks, and cycling. Local life revolves around the nearby village centres of Putney and Barnes, where independent coffee shops, bakeries, traditional pubs, and weekly farmers' markets flourish.

The neighbourhood is well suited for families, benefiting from a comprehensive selection of outstanding state and independent schools, including Ibstock Place School, The Alton School, and nearby options across Putney and Barnes.

Transport connections across London are convenient and direct; regular bus services run along surrounding routes directly to Putney High Street, Barnes, and Richmond (the closest bus stop is opposite the building). Mainline services from nearby Barnes and Putney stations provide quick routes into London Waterloo, while Underground connections are accessible via the District Line at East Putney or Southfields.
