[[The Doctor]] (particularly in his [[Seventh Doctor|seventh incarnation]], would occasionally use a '''house on Allen Road''' in [[Kent]] as a base of operations.
#REDIRECT [[Smithwood Manor]]
 
==History==
===Purchase===
[[Third Doctor|The Doctor]] bought the house some time in the [[1970s]] to use some of the funds that [[UNIT]] had paid him for his services as scientific advisor. (Despite his title of [[unpaid scientific advisor]]. ([[PDA]]: ''[[Verdigris]]'')
 
===Use by the Doctor===
The Doctor would continue using the house from time to time as late as the early [[22nd century|22nd centuries]] ([[NA]]: ''[[Transit]]'').
 
====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 Doctor|eighth body]], which surprised her. ([[NA]]: ''[[The Dying Days]]'')
 
* Early in his personal timeline, following an encounter on the planet [[Zamper (planet)|Zamper]] [[the seventh Doctor|the Doctor]] took Bernice, [[Roz Forrester]] and [[Chris Cwej]] to his house to recover from their injuries. ([[NA]]: ''[[Zamper]]'')
 
* Circa [[2009]], [[Seventh Doctor|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 [[Seventh Doctor|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 (Cat's Cradle: Warhead)|Justine]] would find the house, and therefore Vincent, who would father children by her.''Later, the [[Seventh Doctor|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 (novel)|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 (drug)|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 (dog)|Jack]]. ([[NA]]: ''[[Warchild]]'')
 
* This incarnation of the Doctor used it as a base of operations around in the early 22nd century while investigating the [[Solar Transit System]]. ([[NA]]: ''[[Transit]]'')
 
==Miscellaneous information==
A photo of the Doctor in [[Tibet]] during his [[Second Doctor|second incarnation]] hung on the walls. ([[DWM]]: ''[[Fellow Travellers]]'')
 
==Real World==
The House on Allen Road first appeared in the ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' comics story ''[[Fellow Travellers]]'', which took place in an unspecified year.
