Description

Flowergate is a handsome 12 bedroom Edwardian house built circa 1910 by the shipping magnate, Sir March Turnbull. The property occupies a south west facing plot of about 1.85 acres and is very well situated, being approximately half a mile from the centre of village of Arkley and a mile from the A1, which in turn gives access to both the M25 and Central London. Arkley is one of the highest points in London (147 m above sea level) and as a result the house has fine views over it's extensive gardens towards the London skyline.

Planning consent has been granted for the conversion of the house into six individual apartments, with two attic bedrooms with large dormer windows overlooking the rear garden. Comprehensive architectural design drawings (included with the approved planning permission) are available on request; full engineering reports detailing structural considerations; a negative asbestos report; sound and insulation report; energy utilization report, complete with a detailed conversion project cost analysis. Please ask for more details regarding conversion options.

The property is presently configured as four apartments, with a number of original period features intact. Conversion of the house to either a single, or any combination of partitioned dwellings, would provide new owners with a very impressive family house with plenty of space for multi-generational living or additional staff accommodation. The sale includes the freehold title and four individual leases.

Externally the house is well set back from the road with extensive parking and four garages. The plot measure approximately 170 ft wide by 465 ft deep with a large terrace and substantial lawn to the rear of the house. Beyond the lawn is a less formal section of garden with fruit trees and meadow and which contains a barn which has vehicular access to the road by track.
