Capo di Monte at 3 Judges's Walk on Windmill Hill is a house in Hampstead in the London Borough of Camden. It is listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England.[1][2] The house stands on the corner of Upper Terrace and Judge's Walk.[3]

The house dates to the late 18th century and has been considerably altered.[1] It was in existence by 1762.[3] It is rendered in stucco with weatherboard extensions to the rear. It is 2 storeys with a basement. The actress Sarah Siddons stayed at the house from 1804 to 1805, an "S" above the door commemorates her residence.[1][4] Mavis Norris, in The Book of Hampstead, describes the house as 'three cottages knocked into one'.[5] The house subsequently became known as Siddons Cottage. The secretary of the Athenaeum Club, a Mr. Macgrath, lived in the house after Siddons.[6]

The art historian and administrator Kenneth Clark and his family moved to Capo di Monte in 1941, having previously rented Upton House in Gloucestershire.[7] Stephen Spender and his wife Natasha regularly dined with the Clarks at the house during the war.[8] The Clarks moved from the house to nearby Upper Terrace House in 1946.[9] The house later became the residence of Marghanita Laski.[4]

The house was put up for sale for £6.9 million in 2020.[10]

A drawing of Capo di Monte by Frederick Charles Richards is in the collection of the Newport Museum in Newport, Wales.[11]
