575 Wandsworth Rd, London SW8 3JD
Behind an unremarkable Georgian terrace facade in south London lies an interior transformed room by room over decades by clerk and self-taught artist Khadambi Asalache, who covered the walls in intricate fretwork he carved himself. It's one of the National Trust's smallest and most unusual properties - less a stately home than a single artist's obsessive, lifelong project. There are no visitor reviews on file for this one yet, so treat any account of the visit as provisional until more turn up.
Worth the trip
The hand-carved fretwork panelling that covers almost every wall - Asalache's own work, built up over years rather than commissioned from a workshop.
Before you go
As a small, staffed interior with limited numbers admitted at a time, this is a book-ahead property rather than a turn-up-and-wander one.
