The Old Court House, Grade II* listed house in Richmond upon Thames, England.

The Old Court House stands near Hampton Court Green with a garden that extends directly to the banks of the River Thames.

Sir Christopher Wren received a 50-year lease on the property from Queen Anne in 1708 as compensation for his work on St Paul's Cathedral.

The residence contains a study with original wood paneling selected by Christopher Wren and a marble fireplace matching one at Hampton Court Palace.

The property remains the single private residence on Hampton Court Green, maintaining its historical connection to the adjacent Hampton Court Palace.

During World War I, the building served as an auxiliary hospital operated by the British Red Cross to support medical needs.
