Woodland Way, Kingswood

Created by Octagon in a magnificent Victorian Gothic mansion, this outstanding penthouse apartment is one of the largest and features a superb roof terrace. Luxuriously appointed and beautifully presented, the property is set in secure parkland grounds at the heart of the exclusive Kingswood Warren.

This landmark Victorian Gothic mansion was built for Thomas St Leger Alcock in 1837 and for a century was home to several distinguished families including those of the MP Henry Orme Bonsor and later Joseph Rank, founder of the milling empire. Later used as a girls’ finishing school, hotel and offices, the house was for some sixty years the home of the BBC Research and Development department. Acquired by prestigious house-builder Octagon in 2011, the mansion was converted into eight luxurious and unique apartments set in 19 acres with 5 acres of formal communal gardens. This unique home is the largest penthouse, spacious and bathed in natural light, and including many character features throughout. The impressive sitting – dining room has a South aspect and the fully integrated kitchen – breakfast room has French doors leading out onto the large roof terrace – a perfect space to entertain, or simply to enjoy the tranquility.

There are three double bedrooms each fitted with wardrobes and served by a luxury ensuite. The property comes with a wealth of storage having an extensive private cellar and further store in the secure, underground garage where there are two large parking bays. Kingswood Warren Mansion is encompassed by parkland communal grounds, shared with the prestigious detached houses and with secure gated entrances.
