8 Melbury Road, Victorian house in Holland Park, United Kingdom
The Grade II* listed building at 8 Melbury Road displays characteristic Victorian residential architecture with decorative brickwork, patterned tiles, and original sash windows.
Built between 1875 and 1877, architect Richard Norman Shaw designed this residence for painter Marcus Stone before it became home to film director Michael Powell from 1951 to 1971.
The property stands among other notable residences on Melbury Road, which housed numerous 19th-century artists of the Holland Park Circle, including William Burges and Luke Fildes.
The house maintains protected status under Grade II* listing, requiring specific permissions from local authorities for any structural modifications or renovations to the building.
Located in the Ilchester Estate, the road takes its name from the Earl of Ilchester's Dorset residence and emerged after the demolition of Lord Holland's Kensington home in 1875.
