THE ESTATE

Originally opened by King Edward VII in 1906 as a specialist tuberculosis sanatorium, this remarkable building was once described as “one of the three finest of its time" and is viewed as an Arts and Craft architectural masterpiece. 

In 2015, the estate was meticulously restored and converted by City & Country, resulting in an award-winning development that beautifully preserves its rich heritage. Original features remain throughout, including parquet flooring, teak cabinetry, intricate tiling, and striking leaded light panelled doors in the hallway, alongside stunning leaded light windows.

Residents benefit from  video entry systems,  secure allocated underground parking spaces and a locked bike store. Two stylish resident lounges provide excellent Wi-Fi for working or relaxing, while the superb landscaped gardens feature benches and stone pathways — perfect for a private stroll or unwinding after work. The listed gardens, designed by renowned horticulturalist Gertrude Jekyll, continue to enchant with historic planting, medicinal borders, and tranquil stone pathways. Beyond the estate, scenic walks into surrounding woodlands further enhance the sense of tranquillity and connection to nature.
