Previously named Townstal House. There is a record of the land being leased from Mr. Henry P.Seale and others to a Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 1867, a conveyance from William Smith to Ralph Richardson in 1873, then conveyed to the Rev. John Aldous in 1880.
Three other villas were built about 1870 in the area, Redwalls, Ashleigh and Rook House. However Swinnerton Lodge dates from about 1830, and Boringdon (formerly Townstal Villa and Bexley) from about 1850.

Dartmouth Buildings Paper 4 PDF

Dartmouth Paper 4
William Holborow's paper on building development in Dartmouth was written as a third-year dissertation for a degree in architecture at the University of
Liverpool. It is a most welcome restatement and discussion of facts that are in part familiar to us from Percy Russell's work and yet which includes much
information on population in the first half of the l7th century that has not been aired publicly before. It is the sort of work, quite within the capacities of many Dartmouth residents, that one would like to see undertaken more frequently. I am therefore grateful to Mr. Holborow for the opportunity to include it in Dartmouth Papers. All editorial variations have been approved by the author and I have added three maps in redrawn versions which, I hope, make them more readily comprehensible than in their previously published versions in Russell's and Watkin's books.
