West House, Grade II* listed house in Chelsea, England

West House exhibits red brick construction in Flemish bond with plaintiled roofs, stone octagonal columns, and wooden fanlight with elliptical lights at the entrance.

Architect Philip Webb designed this residence between 1868 and 1869 for artist George Price Boyce, who lived there until his death in 1897.

The property became home to Scottish artists James Guthrie and Edward Arthur Walton, members of the Glasgow Boys movement focusing on contemporary themes.

The interior maintains its original architectural elements, including paneled rooms, oak staircases, and fireplaces with decorative surrounds throughout the building.

The house features three separate entrances: one for household staff, another for artist models, and the main entrance for family members.
