A house built in c.1837, originally without its mansard storey. By the middle of the 19th century it had become a lodging house which it was to remain, for the most part, until 1920. Interesting lodgers included Major Reginald Wymer, a military illustrator, and Sibyl Marchioness of Queensberry, who spent part of the First World War at the house. Her son Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas was best known as the lover of Oscar Wilde.
General Sir Desmond Fitzpatrick lived here in the late 1960s while he was Vice Chief of the General Staff. A later resident was the author, journalist and film writer Alan Hyman.
