Sadly after Hattie's death the house was sold and split into many smaller units. Andy Merriman's biography of Hattie gives great details of life in Eardley Cres and the superb parties which Hattie used to hold there - sadly no longer possible as the main room was divided into two for the flats...

Many thanks for that interesting information Smudge.
I'll have to see if I can track down the Andy Merriman book.
Sounds a good read.
Cheers
