Originally known as Clinton House when it was built, probably c1884. It was the home of the writer Dennis Wheatley from 1914-30. Information from the Streatham Society (http://www.streathamsociety.org.uk/Streatham%20Society%20news%2011-09.pdf ). Palace Road has a few surviving large late-C19th/early-C20th houses. Although this one has seen happier days, it is still attractive, possessing some typical Arts-and-Craft style flourishes - tile-hung upper storey, shell-hood porch and pargetted dormer.
