Description
Talland House is an early 19th-century building located on Albert Road. It is two storeys high and constructed of stucco, featuring a rusticated ground floor and a band above it, along with angle quoins. The facade includes three windows, with the outer ones being canted bays that have French casements topped by iron railed balconies, also canted, which support verandah roofs. In the center of the ground floor, there is a semicircular heated niche. The first floor has French casement windows, with the center window being a sash. The windows are fitted with shutters, and the building has plain eaves and a square hipped slate roof. A large modern dormer attic spans six windows wide. This house was the childhood home of Virginia Woolf, whose father, Sir Leslie Stephen, leased the property from 1881 to 1895. It is also associated with Vanessa Bell, another of his daughters.
