Built circa 1864 this elegant Victorian Villa is favourably situated on the upper slopes of The Hill enjoying the village ambience. Its location on Harrow On The Hill has attracted a number of prominent names from the literary world including Byron, Shelley & Trollope.
In the late 1800's Ellerslie was home to Harrow School master Robert Gilson who went on to become headmaster of the school attended by JRR Tolkein. Robert Gilson's son, also called Robert, was born & spent his early years in the house and became a close friend of the Lord of The Rings author.
