HISTORY
The Guest House and its surrounding cottages, constructed in the late 1890s as part of Lord Battersea's Estate, stand as significant historical landmarks. Lord Battersea commissioned the renowned British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens to design these buildings, which exemplify the Arts and Crafts movement. Situated behind the Overstrand cricket pavilion, the property originally served as servants' quarters and stables, as well as a Guest House for Lord Battersea’s esteemed guests, including notable figures such as Oscar Wilde and Sir Winston Churchill.
One unique feature of the estate is a tunnel connecting The Pleasaunce to the property's former grounds. This tunnel was purportedly used to prevent guests and servants from using the front entrance, in line with Lady Battersea's wishes. This fascinating detail underscores the thoughtful and meticulous design of the estate, reflecting the social customs and architectural brilliance of the era.
TRADITIONAL FEATURES
Many features in the property are typical Lutyens, especially the timber paneling, stained glass and lead window detail and the wonderful staircase. The large glass bookcase in the sitting room came from The Sea Marge Hotel, originally a Tac cupboard for horses livery, therefore has been converted by the present owner to a charming book case.
