Decorating Campden Grove

Campden Grove is a handsome residential street climbing Campden Hill in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, lined with attractive late-Victorian and Edwardian terraced and semi-detached villas. Set within the Campden Hill Conservation Area, the street benefits from a village-like atmosphere unusual for central London, with mature trees and well-maintained front gardens contributing to its quiet, leafy character. The mixture of red brick, painted render and stucco elevations gives the street a varied but coherent architectural identity.

The varied facades of Campden Grove — spanning red brick, London stock brick, painted render and stucco — require a painter with breadth of experience in exterior masonry treatments to match and maintain existing finishes sympathetically. Interiors in these substantial family homes often feature Arts and Crafts-influenced joinery and decorative tilework that suit warm, considered colour palettes and skilled brushwork.
