No. 1A Fitzgerald Avenue has an entry in the book Nairn's London by Ian Nairn where it is described as "a wonderful toy fort made up of genuine bits and genuine fantasy". He mentions the huge Wren-style door dated 1696, as well as the columns and battlements. It certainly seems to sit rather oddly here in suburbia.
