Known as "Welcome Aboard", this house was built in 1932 and designed by Robert Atkinson and Partners who were also responsible for the Art-Deco foyer of the Daily Express building in Fleet Street. Welcome Aboard was built for R.G. Chittenden a member of the family owning Salisbury's luggage shops. Original plans show it to be a two bedroom house with living/dining room and kitchen on the first floor. The wing on the left was built as a garage extension and was indicated on the plans. It has since been converted into extra rooms. As built originally to have a gas fire in the living room, the chimney (to the right of the tree) seems to be a later addition when an open fire replaced the gas version.
