The prolific R. Toms and Partners were at it again in c1935 with this block built around a central garden. Like Wavertree Court, it has shaped gables, mansard roofs and white rendered walls, plus black-painted metal Crittall-style windows. The original rents were £95 pa for three rooms or £110 pa for four rooms. It is within the Streatham High Road and Streatham Hill Conservation Area.

Someone absent-minded and short-sighted has left part of their car behind on the street in front.
