Beresford Avenue, Twickenham

Beresford Avenue is in an area of East Twickenham that in the 18th Century was part of the Twickenham Park Estate. The sub-division of the the park from around the middle of the 19th Century saw a series of housing developments until finally Beresford Avenue was constructed in 1935.

The Beresford Avenue Conservation Area Study published by the London Borough of Richmond Upon Thames in July 2000, states that the avenue was designated as a Conservation Area in 1990 because it 'is a cul-de-sac development of twenty six semi-detached two storey houses with garages built in the mid 1930s to a largely unified design'.

The houses have these wonderful bulging window bays from the ground to the pitched roof with curved metal windows.

In general low walls or fences have been maintained and in some cases the houses still have the original sunburst design gates.
