History
Renowned architect Ernest Newton was commissioned in 1883 by the then owner Emil Teichmann to create a home of character. The manor house, named Sitka (now Kingswood Mansions), was built in elegant brick and architect Newton included irregular patterning in his design which gave the house a distinctive charm with stone balustrade and ornate plasterwork on the facade completing the look. Newton also designed an impressive oak staircase for the entrance hall of the house, which led up to a specially designed pulpit on the first floor, from where Teichmann used to address his family and staff at Sunday prayers. Much of this was retained and restored into its current glory providing a stunning entrance to the building.
Other buildings on the estate included a Coach House and Gardeners Lodge. The Coach House was topped with an elegant clock and special arrangements were made so that it was visible from the housekeeper's room in the main house so she could ensure the household could run like clockwork.
After Teichmann's death, the house stood empty for some time. But during the second-world-war it served as offices for the Southern Railway. In 1948 research and development company Sira bought the site and used it as its head office with more than 200 staff working there. Sitting as the centre piece to this beautiful development, Sitka was sensitively developed by St James’ Homes in circa 2006 – 2010 along with the rest of the site to offer a selection of family homes and glorious apartments.
