Egerton House, Berkhamsted, Elizabethan mansion in Berkhamsted, England
The two-story mansion displayed three prominent gables with smaller dormer windows positioned between them in the steep tiled roof structure.
The property changed ownership in 1840 when Wesleyan Methodists purchased it for 700 pounds and transformed it into a preaching house.
The Llewelyn Davies family's residence at Egerton House led to frequent visits from J.M. Barrie, who drew inspiration for Peter Pan from their children.
The mansion contained three sitting rooms, a dining room, a billiards room, a conservatory, four bedrooms, four box rooms, and stables.
Parts of the original oak paneling survived the 1936 demolition and found new homes in Four Oaks on Graemsdyke Road and Boxwell House.
