This site may be of use. http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=22464

About half way through the report is a  section on Sudbury and the dates various houses were built. Sudbury Hill House is listed as being built in 1830 and Sudbury House in 1852

The Morning Post (London) July 1805 advertised the sale of
"A freehold estate, consisting of a substantial mansion, called SUDBURY HOUSE, delightfully situated on Sudbury Common, one mile from Harrow on the Hill, and within nine miles of London..... in the whole about 12 acres"

Do you have a link? I tried FindMyPast (574 hits) & Ancestry (0).  It looks like that may be the house in question.

FindMyPast - you'll find the advert in the "Morning Post dated 20 July 1805 or 17 Sept 1805

Have found that an "Admiral T. Mathews" lived at "Sudbury Common", early/mid 18th Century. This may be "Admiral Thomas Mathews". But can't link him to a "Sudbury House"

Apologies JenB, I missed your reply - I went straight to page 2 of posts and didn't see it  :o.  All the more "sorry!" given that not only is Sudbury House there but also Sudbury Hill House - that answers that question.

Thanks for the link & again apologies  :)

Hi

JenB's great map find shows that SudburyHouse is not SudburyHillHouse but is now covered by Clementine Churchill Hospital.

Julian Cottage is also on the census I mentioned.

Here's the present-day location http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html?coords=515312,186525

Click on the 1864 thumbnail map to the right, then click again in the very centre and you can see Sudbury House; you can follow the gradual alterations on the site and in the general area by looking at the other thumbnail maps.
