Decorating Rosary Gardens

Rosary Gardens is a handsome Victorian residential street in South Kensington, running between Fulham Road and Old Brompton Road with the benefit of a private communal garden that gives the street its name. The street is lined with well-maintained red-brick and stucco Victorian terraces, many of which retain their original bay windows, ornate ironwork, and tiled entrance paths. Its secluded garden and quiet character make it one of the more desirable addresses in SW7.

The Victorian terraces on Rosary Gardens present a variety of facade materials — painted stucco, red brick, and decorative terracotta — that require different surface treatments and paint systems. Sash windows, decorative iron railings, and intricate entrance canopies are recurring features that demand careful preparation and skilled application to achieve a durable, attractive finish.
