Decorating Netherall Gardens

Netherall Gardens is a leafy residential street in South Hampstead, running between Fitzjohn's Avenue and Nutley Terrace in a quiet pocket of prosperous Victorian and Edwardian housing. The street is lined with substantial red brick and terracotta Flemish-gabled villas and semi-detached houses built predominantly in the 1880s and 1890s, displaying the rich ornamental brickwork, decorative tile hanging and stained glass porches characteristic of the Queen Anne Revival style in Hampstead. Its generous garden frontages and mature plane trees contribute to an especially tranquil neighbourhood character.

The ornate red brick and terracotta facades of Netherall Gardens require decorators experienced with the precise painting of complex moulded brick and terracotta details, while interiors frequently feature original Arts and Crafts fireplaces, inglenook recesses and panelled dados that demand careful preparation and high-quality paint finishes.
