Downe House, Grade II listed house on Richmond Hill, London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, England
Built with brown brick and yellow window dressings, Downe House rises across four stories with a basement, featuring bays on both sides and balconies above.
Constructed around 1780, this Georgian house marks the beginning of Richmond Park, which was enclosed as a deer park by King Charles I in 1635.
The residence has housed prominent figures including playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan, Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger, and fashion model Jerry Hall through different periods.
The building contains multiple architectural elements including modillion cornice, balustrading, cast-iron balustrades on second floor windows, and a porch with Doric piers.
Located at the apex of Richmond Hill, the property combines round-headed windows above the bays with square-headed sash windows throughout its Georgian structure.
