Background

History

The house was constructed by Oliver Hill between 1929 and 1931 for M. C. Warner. During World War II the house was let to Colonel Tatsumi, who served as Japanese Military Attaché to London, and Władysław Sikorski, the Polish prime minister of his government in exile.

Architecture

The house is made of Bargate stone sandstone with a green Swedish pantiled roof inspired by Spanish architecture and Lutyens. The two wings are linked by a stone terrace incorporating a Moorish curved pool, and the house has many stone and brick embellishments, such as fireplaces and window features. Servants' bells survive.
