Title
Gort House in Petersham Road
Description
A side view of the front elevation of Gort House, 212 Petersham Road, Richmond upon Thames. It is a mid-eighteenth-century, two-storey, seven-window range house with a central pedimented doorcase. A single-storey extension with garage doors can be seen. Branches from a large cedar tree and a tall hedge largely obscure the view of the house. There is a football on the lawn and a parked Austin Mini. It was originally a single house with Gort Lodge, which was the original entrance facing east onto Sudbrook Lane and this garden view facing west towards Petersham Road. The property was later split into two separate dwellings. Gort House and Gort Lodge are Grade II listed together, listing number 1262064. The basement of Gort House was adapted during World War II to serve as an air raid shelter. The walls of the shelter retain wartime graffiti. In the distance, 'Mullion', a detached house at 2 Sudbrook Lane can be seen. The houses lie within the Petersham Conservation Area.
