Lion House

Nestled in the heart of Fulham, SW6, the Lion Houses stand as a testament to Victorian architectural brilliance and the rich history of London’s residential development. These distinctive homes, named for the lion sculptures that adorn their façades, offer large Victorian family homes with modern-day desirability, making them some of the most sought-after properties in the area. After all who wouldn't want to be the owner of a 'Lion House', the very name suggests strength, significance and power. The houses are located predominately within the Peterborough Estate, on the south side of Parsons Green itself, Fulham's most sought after area.

Constructed in the late 19th century, the Lion Houses reflect the Victorian era's architectural ethos, characterised by ornate detailing and robust construction. The period saw a surge in the development of grand residential buildings as London's population expanded rapidly. The Lion Houses were part of this wave, designed to provide both aesthetic appeal and functional living spaces for the burgeoning middle class.

What sets the Lion Houses apart are their distinctive features. The lion statues, prominently displayed above the entranceways, are the most striking elements, symbolising strength and grandeur. These homes often feature red brick façades, intricate stone masonry, and large bay windows, which were typical of the Victorian style. Inside, they boast high ceilings, spacious rooms, and elegant fireplaces, which have been meticulously preserved and restored over the years.

While the Lion Houses retain their historic charm, many have been updated to meet contemporary living standards. Modern renovations often include significant expansion with basements, state-of-the-art kitchens, luxurious bathrooms, and open-plan living areas, seamlessly blending old-world elegance with modern convenience. Being some of the largest houses available in Fulham and the combination of historical significance and modern amenities makes these homes without doubt most desirable in Fulham.
