My guess is that this rather grand old house dates from within a few years of 1900. It owes a lot of its character to this porch, with its balusters and carved bargeboard. While this property looks set to survive, elsewhere in the Surrey (and SW London) suburbs many large Victorian and Edwardian properties have been demolished to make way for smaller units - a trend which seemed to accelerate for a while early in the present century.
