Description
The original home forms part of what was the Bury Hill Estate owned by Viscount Grimston and covered 1600 acres of land between Dorking, Westcott, Coldharbour to the fringes of Holmwood along with many local estate houses. A subsequent owner, Robert Barclay, created a 'pleasure garden' with an ornamental lake and the house remained in the Barclay family for 150 years. It was occupied by the military in the Second World War and in 1949 the central section was destroyed in a fire and the two wings have remained separate ever since.
Outside
A gravel drive with communal parking leads to the apartment. There is an outside store/studio on the ground floor, accessed from the apartment or outside side access (access is also shared with one neighbour)
The roof terrace via french doors from the sitting room on the second floor, the area is south facing and provides wonderful far reaching views. Outside the building the private garden is approached through neighbouring gardens and is a large expanse lawn again providing outstanding views.
Situation
