9 Sherringford Square^[1] is the street address of a yellow brick Victorian townhouse located in London (in the SE11 postal district),^[1] where magizoologist Newt Scamander lived.^[2] The basement had an Undetectable Extension Charm placed upon it to house several of Newt's magical creatures.^[3]

History

Built sometime prior to 1927. Newton Scamander lived in this house and it to house several injured or rescued beasts in its magically-expanded basement. In September of 1927, American witch Queenie Goldstein and her fiance, the No-Maj Jacob Kowalski payed a visit here to Newt to tell him of their engagement.^[4]

Layout

The apartment is very small, with old-style furnishings and decor. However, it houses a basement magically-expanded through use of the Undetectable Extension Charm. This allowed Newt to use his house as a sort of animal hospital for rescued and endangered beasts. The basement held a criss-cross of stairs that allowed Newt to move between his beasts. Several of his beasts lived in magically-expanded habitats. One example of these is the Kelpie.

Beasts contained in the basement

• Augurey
• Kelpie
• Leucrotta
• Mooncalves
• Nifflers
• Streelers

Behind the scenes
