HISTORY The property forms part of Pitt House, designed and built in the 1840's by the renowned London Architect Sir George Gilbert Scott in Partnership with William B. Moffatt. Sir Gilbert Scott being responsible for many iconic buildings such as St Pancreas Hotel and Train Station, and the Prince Albert Memorial. Pitt House is described as being of immense architectural and historic interest as one of the few remaining examples of a domestic building by Sir Gilbert Scott, and as an example of the early Victorian Jacobean revival style. Constructed of Devon squared stone with Bathstone dressings the house is almost symmetrical in design and features curly Dutch gables and castellated bay and oriel windows.

Pitt House was extended to the rear in the 1880's whilst in the ownership of Charles Seale-Hayne including the addition of a billiard room and ballroom as well as several service rooms. During the second world war the American military used Pitt House, and then it saw use as a boys boarding school for a period of time prior to the conversion in the 1980's. In the mid 1980's much restoration work was carried out and the mansion was split into the current layout of three large houses and six apartments.
