Cross Deep House, Georgian residential structure in Twickenham, England
Description
Cross Deep House was a three-story building on the banks of the River Thames featuring classic Georgian architectural elements. The structure sat between Radnor House and Strawberry Hill House as part of an important residential cluster in the area.
History
The house was completed in 1724 by local carpenter Robert Parsons, shaping early 18th-century residential development in Twickenham. It remained a prominent feature of the riverscape until its demolition in 1906.
Culture
The property was known for its gardens, which featured a Chinese Temple visible from neighboring properties and reflected the period's fascination with exotic design elements.

A footbridge once connected the riverside garden to Cross Deep Ait, an island in the Thames, with remnants of this crossing still visible today. This unusual link to a river island made the estate a distinctive place for exploration.
