Timeline

 * Kadiatu Lethbridge-Stewart dropped Bernice Summerfield at this house in 1997 to wait for the Doctor, but he did not return for her until after he had regenerated into his eighth body, which surprised her. (NA: The Dying Days)


 * Early in his personal timeline, following an encounter on the planet Zamper, the Doctor took Bernice, Roz Forrester and Chris Cwej to his house to recover from their injuries. (NA: Zamper)


 * Circa 2009, the Doctor dropped by the house while Ace went on a mission for him in Turkey. (DWM: Ravens) Superstition and irrationality swept over the western world. Believers in the paranormal and occult had begun to notice the Doctor's presence in the house. Some thought of him as a supernatural being or magician, others an extraterrestrial. When the Doctor, graffiti on the street sign now made it read "Alien Road" indicated this. (NA: Cat's Cradle: Warhead, DWM: Ravens) Here, the Doctor and Ace decanted the body of Vincent Wheaton out of suspended animation. (NA: Cat's Cradle: Warhead)


 * Very possibly, in a typically devious act for this incarnation of the Doctor, he allowed the rumors to spread, or even encouraged them, so that Justine would find the house, and therefore Vincent, who would father children by her.Later, the The Doctor and Ace unsealed Vincent Wheaton there. (NA: Cat's Cradle: Warhead)


 * By 2014, the Doctor has several cars including a Mazda and Mercedes. There is are also several pieces of technology including a communications screen in the garage. The house also had a wine cellar. There were apple trees in the orchard out the back of the house. The house has a computer with a voice interface which could sound like Cary Grant and the front gate had a sign that reading, Beware of the God. There was also an advanced security system linked to a a scale model of the house and grounds on the sideboard in the breakfast room, which contains a surveillance system. The house also has security cameras that could be viewed from the television set in the sitting room. A group of kids had recently broken into the grounds, leaving used needles and graffiti in the fountain in front of the house. (NA: Warlock)


 * Again, the Doctor used his house as a base of operations around 2030 whilst tracking various psychic phenomena on Earth as well as the last vestiges of Warlock. By this point the library contains an old Apple Mac computer, a billiard table, a silk Biedermyer soda, two floral armchairs, the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and the suspended animation cylinder which contained the body of the dog, Jack.
