Montrose House is a late 17th-century Grade II* listed building[1] at 186 Petersham Road, Petersham in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.[1]
Sir Thomas Jenner was the first resident.[2][3] In the 1870s it was occupied by John Master, a retired magistrate from the Indian Colonial Service, his wife Gertrude, and his children.[4] One of his daughters, Hilda Master, went on to become the mother of Sir Anthony Blunt.[5] Tommy Steele was also an owner;[2][3] he then sold the house in about 2004.[6]
