Victorian Maybury Hill, the road and roads off it, mostly had a few well spaced large houses. This, being semi-detached, was possibly one of the humbler ones. The area was where the Narrator in H.G. Wells's 'War of the Worlds' lived. It is probably where H.G. would have liked to have lived. He actually wrote the book whilst living down the hill in a fairly humble rented house by the railway on Maybury Road.
