[1][5][6] He also added bulwarks and portholes to the property, and in 1805, bought the nearby grove and demolished it to extend the house's garden.

[1][7]: 8  The problem arose because a print of The Grove was incorrectly entitled Admiral Barton’s Hampstead.

[4] A possible explanation for the confusion was that Barton, who lived in Hampstead, fired cannon from his roof, and so it was assumed they were from the quarterdeck of The Grove.

[1][5] One painting, The Grove, or Admiral's House, Hampstead, was bought by Hugo von Tschudi for the Berlin Alte Nationalgalerie,[9] was later on display at the Tate Britain,[10] and is now in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

[12] George Gilbert Scott lived in the house between 1856 and 1865,[7]: 375  although he decided that Hampstead was too cold for him.

[5] In 1910, London County Council commissioned a blue plaque for Scott on Admiral's House.

[12] In 1941, Norman Thomas Janes produced a watercolour painting of Admiral's House that is located in the V&A Museum collections.

[14] Admiral's House is believed to have been an inspiration for P. L. Travers' Mary Poppins books.
