Chapel House, Grade II* listed building in Montpelier Row, Twickenham, England
The Georgian building features red window dressings, two carved wooden staircases, and pine-paneled rooms across its 5,000 square feet space.
Built around 1721 for retired naval officer Captain John Gray, the house later became home to poet Alfred Tennyson from 1851 to 1853.
During his residency at Chapel House, Alfred Tennyson composed the 'Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington' in 1852.
The property includes a 150-foot walled garden and a small cottage from 1921, originally constructed as an artist's studio.
Pete Townshend, songwriter of The Who, owned Chapel House until 2008, marking a connection between historical architecture and modern music.
