Description

Grove Lodge is an early 18th-century semi-detached house with later alterations and additions around 1910. The house is constructed of stucco and has a tiled roof with dormers. It is two storeys and an attic in height. The front elevation features a single window and a single-window lower extension at the south end. A 20th-century entrance portico is situated in the south-east angle. A plain stucco band runs across the first floor. It has recessed sash windows with louvred shutters, and a parapet. The interior has not been inspected. The house was the home of John Galsworthy, the novelist and playwright, from 1918 to 1933, a period during which he completed The Forsyte Saga and won the Nobel Prize for Literature; a plaque commemorating this is displayed by the London County Council.

Local climate

Grove Lodge sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 98% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 98% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 66% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
