Chester House, Grade II listed house in Wimbledon, England.
Chester House combines architectural elements from different periods, featuring Jacobean design with Georgian extensions and Victorian modifications to its front facade.
John Horne Tooke, an influential political reformer of the eighteenth century, made Chester House his residence from 1792 until his death in 1812.
The property exemplifies the evolution of English residential architecture through different periods, from its initial construction around 1700 to modern times.
The house stands on the western edge of Wimbledon Common, with recent renovations including a new orangery and a leisure complex beneath terraced gardens.
The building underwent transformation into office space during the 1960s before being restored to its original purpose as a family residence.
