Teddington has plenty of history - but which house in the town is the oldest - and just how old is it?
Well the honour of the oldest house in Teddington goes to Elmfield House on the High Street.
So let's take a look back at the history of the house - and who occupies it today.
The History
The house is believed to have been built way back in the 1720s.
So it comes in at 300 years old - a pretty astonishing age.
So what was the house first used for?
Well originally it was a private home before becoming offices for Richmond Council.
It used to have a front garden with boundary walls, iron railings and gates, and substantial gate piers until 1927 when they were all lost to road widening.
The House Today
Today Elmfield House is a dental surgery.
The oldest house in Teddington was sold off by the council in 2007.
