Gordon House

Gordon House sits on Royal Hospital Road in Chelsea and displays architectural features from Thomas Leverton's design period. The building is a brick residential structure with tall sash windows and period details characteristic of late 18th-century London townhouses.

The house was built as part of London's 19th-century residential development and reflects the building practices of that period. It was later granted Grade II listed status, recognizing its historical value within the Chelsea area.

The house forms part of the Royal Hospital conservation area and contributes to Chelsea's historic street character. Walking past it, you notice how its facade sits naturally among the other period buildings around it.

The house is visible from the street and can be observed from outside during a walk along Royal Hospital Road. The best time to view it is during daylight hours when natural light highlights the architectural details.

Permission was granted in 2015 for an underground swimming pool to be added to the house, showing how period buildings adapt to modern comforts. This kind of renovation demonstrates how heritage protection and contemporary living needs can coexist.
