Henson purchased this house in 1979 after ITV commissioned the Muppet series, filmed at Elstree Studios.

From the l: "The Henson Organisation also bought 1b Downshire Hill which became a puppet workshop – some of the magical creatures you see in Labyrinth, the fantasy movie starring David Bowie as The Goblin King, were made there. Mr Henson, who died in 1990, split his time between New York and London. He had also lived at 12 Frognal Gardens in the 1970s."
