9 and 10 Streatham Common South
To find one C18th house in this area might be considered fortunate, to find two might be considered auspicious, but to find two next to each other is nothing short of miraculous. Their foundations are shown on Rocque's map of 1746.
No. 9, on the right, has arched windows on the ground floor and, according to the listing details, a gambrel roof although it looks hipped to me. Grade II listed.
No. 10, known as Ripley House, may have been built by the architect Thomas Ripley for himself, but I can find no evidence to support this claim. It was an ale house in 1738, the cellar of which still exists.
Information partly from Lambeth Council. Both are within the Streatham Common Conservation Area.

Autumnal Streatham Common (12)
Some of the planes lining the path appear to have been cut back in the last year or so.
Streatham Common comprises a large expanse of open grassland sloping up from Streatham High Road in the west, to woodland and the Rookery in the east. The latter opened in 1913 and is a more formal garden originally in the grounds of the eponymous house. It includes the site of Streatham Spa which made Streatham fashionable for a time in the early-mid C18th. The early history of the common is murky, but it stretches back to the Norman Conquest, and the Domesday Book recorded a Lime Common which stretched from Norbury to Tulse Hill. Following 500 years of church ownership its status as a public space was ensured by an Act of Parliament when it was taken over by the Metropolitan Board of Works in 1883. After several further transferrals, ownership passed to Lambeth Council in 1971. Information from Lambeth Council.
