The property was once owned by Sir Francis Ronalds' family. In 1816, he built the first electric telegraph in its garden.[3] From 1867, then called The Retreat, it was the family home of poet, minister and novelist George MacDonald who wrote two of his most popular children's books, At the Back of the North Wind (1871) and The Princess and the Goblin (1873), there.[2]

It was the London home of English textile designer, artist, writer and socialist William Morris from October 1878 until his death in October 1896.
