Mortimer House, Victorian residence in South Kensington, England
Mortimer House stands at the intersection of Egerton Gardens and Brompton Road, featuring red and blue brickwork with tall chimney stacks and griffin statues.
The property replaced Crescent House in the 1880s when Edward Howley Palmer, former Governor of the Bank of England, obtained permission to rebuild.
The interior combines Jacobean elements in the oak-staircase hallway with Adamesque influences in the double drawing room, reflecting different architectural periods.
The residence includes modernized facilities such as converted garage spaces from former stables and a swimming pool addition in the conservatory area.
The house displays decorative stone bears and griffins along its exterior, while one first-floor room contains elements suggesting its past use as a chapel.
