2b Melbury Road, Grade II listed house in Holland Park, London, England
2b Melbury Road is a residence featuring distinctive late Victorian architectural details designed by architect John Belcher in 1877. The spacious building sits within a quiet residential area and displays the design language characteristic of that era.
The building was constructed as part of the Ilchester Estate development and received Grade II listed status in 1969. This protection ensures the preservation of its distinctive architectural character for future generations.
The house served as home to sculptor Sir Hamo Thornycroft, and a blue commemorative plaque on the front wall marks his residence. The plaque stands as a visible link between this building and London's 19th-century artistic circles.
The house is a private residence and not open to the public, but the exterior can be viewed from the street. It sits in an established residential neighborhood with good access and nearby parks.
The building forms part of a group of three connected townhouses on Melbury Road, originally constructed for the Thornycroft family. This close relationship between the architecture and a prominent artistic family adds historical interest to the site.
