Decorating Longmoore Street

Longmoore Street is a typical Pimlico Victorian residential terrace, running parallel to the grid of streets laid out by Thomas Cubitt in the mid-nineteenth century. The street is lined with two- and three-storey stock brick terrace houses that retain period joinery, original sash windows, and modest stucco detailing to window surrounds and eaves. Longmoore Street forms part of the Pimlico Conservation Area, reflecting the coherent townscape character of this planned neighbourhood.

Longmoore Street properties frequently present original timber sash windows and painted brick or stucco banding that benefit from periodic stripping and recoating, with care needed to select vapour-permeable finishes appropriate to Victorian brick construction in a conservation area.
