7 Rutland Gardens, adjoining Rutland Lodge, was built in 1873 by William Brass for Lady Ashburton of Kent House. It was built as a fourstoreyed and of Lshaped stables. The accommodation was much greater than had been in mind when the site was planned in 1871, and it was so as to avoid buying more ground that the four-story layout was devised. It was nevertheless a very expensive building, costing well over £3,000, and fully in line with Lady Ashburton’s requirement that additional accommodation for Kent House should be of the highest standard. In its ambitious contemporary reimagining,
Ashburton House lives up to the very same standards that
Lady Ashburton envisaged, in its newest form, today.
