This house was built in 1929 for Rear-Admiral Tufton Beamish MP by the architect John Bernard Mendham. Erected on the site of a modest Georgian house, it is a mix of Arts and Crafts and classical design, with many nautical influences in the detail-work. This whole stretch of the road was rebuilt likewise in the late 1920s and early 30s, mostly for wealthy MPs such as Robert Hudson and Wilfred Ashley.
As it turned out, it was just nine years before the house became a commercial address in 1938. It was returned to residential use in 2004.
