Homes in Putney
Putney has Victorian and Edwardian houses near the High Street and the river, larger houses in West Putney and near Putney Heath, and mansion blocks. Roehampton has the Alton Estate, a celebrated post-war modernist council estate with listed slab blocks.
Riverside properties face Thames flood risk. Many larger houses have been converted into flats, and the area sits on Thames gravels with clay higher up. Putney is popular with families and professionals, and prices are high. Putney High Street and the riverside are focal points, and the University Boat Race starts here. Roof-level and rear extensions are widespread, and the standard of that later work varies more than the original build.
Areas we cover include Putney, East Putney, West Putney, Roehampton, Putney Heath.
