Ah, that's the website where I got the impression the theatre was in the back garden, but it actually only says it was "behind" the house. I suppose he could have had two houses within yards of each other....
No.1 Chelsea Emankment today is on the corner of the Embankment and Embankment Gardens. Which is where I originally thought the house in the 1909 picture was, except that Embankment Gardens didn't appear to have been built at the time (according to the OS map).
The grounds do seem to have an entrance on Tite St though, nearly opposite Dilke St.
