Sandycombe Lodge is a Grade II* listed[1] house which was built and designed by the artist J M W Turner in 1813 as his country retreat and as a home for his father.[2] Turner lived there from 1804 to 1826.[1]Origianlly known as Solus Lodge,[3] it is the only surviving building designed by Turner, and shows the influence of his friend Sir John Soane.[2] The appearance of the house has been much altered by the addition of second floors to the original side wings.[3]
The house is located at 40 Sandycoombe Road, Twickenham in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and is in the style of a picturesque cottage.[2] When it was built, Twickenham was rural, as can be seen in the engraving Sandycombe Lodge, Twickenham, Villa of J. M. W. Turner (1814) which was engraved by W. B. Cooke after William Havell and is now held at Tate Britain.[4]
Turner sold the house in 1826 and it has had several owners since.[5] At the beginning of the Second World War it was used as a factory producing airmen's uniforms: the vibrations of the heavy machinery damaged the staircase and ceilings. In 1947, it was bought by Professor Harold Livermore and his wife who set up the Sandycombe Lodge Trust (now Turner’s House Trust) in 2005. When he died in 2010, Professor Livermore bequeathed the house to the trust to be preserved as a monument to Turner.[2]
Sandycombe Lodge was added to English Heritage's Heritage at Risk Register in 2013.[2]
Many of the house's original features survive, but the house needs major restoration work and redecoration. Turner’s House Trust has received a Heritage Lottery Fund grant and is seeking additional funding to restore the house, remove Victorian additions and return it to its appearance in Turner's day.[2][6][7]
