This house, built in 1913, was one of the last to be built in a road developed from 1860. Adapting traditional styles for a modern era, Edwardian suburban houses such as these were seen as the perfect combination of old and new. The cluttered and stuffy interiors of Victorian homes were replaced with airy and more manageable spaces, typically featuring a large hallway accessing the main rooms while still incorporating the staircase. Large windows made the most of the front and back gardens.
A resident here in the late 1940s was Eunice Gayson, an up-and-coming young actress, best remembered as the first 'Bond Girl' in Dr. No.
