Henry Tate Mews, Streatham Common, London SW16

Originally built in the 1830s and once home to Sir Henry Tate, the mansion was thoughtfully redeveloped in 2000 into a stunning 5-bedroom house, centered around the original billiard room with its glass celestory.

Before founding the first Tate gallery in 1897 (now known as Tate Britain), Sir Henry Tate hung his collection of (then) contemporary British art in a spectacular double-height Grade II* listed former billiard room, beneath an enormous original skylight, at his home, an 1835 mansion by Streatham Common on what is now known as Henry Tate Mews (formerly Park Hill). The former billiard room has been made into a double-height living room with a mezzanine floor reached by a spiral staircase. A modern, fully fitted kitchen has an island unit at it's centre, and a very useful utility room tucked off to the side. Upstairs there are five generous double bedrooms, three of which have an en-suite, with a further bathroom being shared by the two bedrooms on the top floor.

Henry Tate Mews is a privately owned estate situated at the top of Streatham Common North, across the road from the open spaces of Streatham Common. Sitting in 6 acres of private landscaped gardens, including a listed grotto, folly and orchard.
