5, The Grove in September 2016

Originally built around 1688, it was rebuilt around 1933 by C. H. James, yet retained its general appearance. The house consists of 3 storeys with a basement, built in red brick. The interior has been substantially altered since it was built.[1] During James's remodeling of the house in the 1930s, several examples of early 18th-century wallpapers were found hidden behind wooden paneling, which were subsequently donated to the Victoria and Albert Museum.[2] Wooden railings surround the front of the house, and a lantern surmounts the front entrance.[1] Prior to his death in 2016, George Michael was the sole tenant of this building.
