Kingswood, Surrey (PRWEB UK) 30 July 2012
Located in the centre of Kingswood Warren, a private leafy, tree-lined residential enclave, the 19 acre estate, accessed by its own private gated carriageway, is the new flagship site for Britains foremost luxury house builder. Octagon have created a collection of fourteen detached houses, all with individual design detailing, with the original mansion elegantly retained and surrounded by 5 acres of communal gardens.
Local residents have welcomed the arrival of the award winning developer by voting with their feet; following the early sales exchanges, over 500 people visited the Hill House Interiors styled and furnished show house during a special weekend preview.
The spacious 5 bedroom detached family houses which come with either 4 or 5 bathrooms, have been designed to complement local classic residential architecture. All the luxury homes have open views across the communal gardens, which feature some impressive focal points; a stately ancient giant cedar tree and the sympathetically renovated Mansion.
The generously sized and secluded plots range from half to just over one acre, surrounded by mature trees and hedgerows, and the properties come with Octagons famed high specification and interior fixtures.
The old mansion, a Victorian Gothic masterpiece with flamboyant stone detailing, mullions and oak panelled interiors, is currently undergoing a renovation and conversion into 8 spacious apartments.
The mansion, built in 1837., was a former home to various titled squires, including Victorian MP, Thomas Alcock, and most recently, prior to the Octagon purchase, the house and grounds housed BBCs research department, where entry was strictly limited to the Corporations personnel and visiting scientific luminaries.
The communal grounds, which feature a sunken garden, verdant shrubberies and woodland walks, will be restored to their original magnificence by Octagons consultant landscape architects.
