About Bow House
Bow House History
Bow House has a rich history dating back to the 19th century when two beautiful Victorian-style residences were built beside Wandsworth Common.
In 1965, the two residences were purchased by a housing committee headed by Audrey Butterworth. The two houses were joined together as a single home whose use was initially intended for Christian Science nurses and practitioners at the end of their careers. Over time, the purpose of Bow House has evolved to provide comfortable flatlets for any active Christian Scientist.
Bow House is a non-profit housing association offering subsidised housing to practicing Christian Scientists.
The Building
Bow House is a historical gem with a rich architectural heritage. Situated in a conservation area, the 140-year-old building retains its elegant charm, capturing the essence of its time. The architecture has timeless appeal, boasting a gorgeous classic facade and intricate detailing.
The original 30 units have undergone thoughtful renovations to now accommodate 18 self-contained flats, all with modern amenities, comfort, and convenience. Bow House stands as a testament to enduring architectural craftsmanship while providing a family atmosphere for members of the Christian Science community.
