The far left wing is probably a later extension. The house survives today on the corner of Ash Grove.

Built around 1862 as part of Brook Villas, four similar houses, No 35 is a good example of mid-Victorian development on the Beckenham Penge borders.

This was about as far as the housing came at this period. There was then a pause in development until the new surge in the early 20th century caused the building up of the Clock House and Elmers End areas over the border in Beckenham.
