Regal splendour restored to Kent’s best address

John Nash architecture, Humphry Repton landscapes, private leisure facilities, Mark Wilkinson kitchens as well as a gated entrance leading to a half mile private driveway nestled alongside a golf course is just a taster of what purchasers can expect at Sundridge Park in Bromley, Kent.

Here, leading developer Millgate Homes is proud to be restoring and recreating the regency splendour of this prestigious and desirable location to offer a collection of new homes due to be launched in June.

The site is home to a splendid Grade I Nash mansion and ground laid out by Humphry Repton, the eminent 19th century landscaper. It was here that King Edward VII and Napoleon III frequented the mansion, attending shooting parties, before a golf course was created out of the valley.

Situated alongside the mansion, which currently operates as a luxury hotel and conference centre, Millgate Homes is restoring the former coach house to provide one 4 bedroom and four 3 bedroom homes, designed in an arc shape arrangement. At the centre of the building there is an impressive clock tower which Millgate Homes is restoring to its former glory.

Jonathan Cranley, Director of Millgate Homes comments: “Sundridge Park is truly remarkable – a secluded oasis with an illustrious history that any purchaser would be proud to be part of. Every need is catered for with award winning private leisure facilities, an elite concierge service, convenient travel connections, surrounded by two championship golf courses, ensuring residents can lead the regal lifestyle that Sundridge Park is famed for.”

Meanwhile, The Pavillion buildings will provide a collection of newly built apartments and townhouses, a modern interpretation of Regency splendour. Here, Millgate Homes commissioned architect Robert Adam, the name in classical architecture. His idea is not to copy the past but to develop and improve upon it. It is about taking classical design and marrying it with how people wish to live their life today.

The apartments within draw inspiration from a large botanical conservatory that stood in its place during the Victorian era, comprising a portico of open terraces behind a colonnade of narrow metal columns similar to those that would have been used in the original conservatory.

The formal terraces that had survived from the days of Repton have been extended to create a courtyard of gardens to Sundridge Park where you can relax and unwind. This feeling of a traditional country estate is enhanced with the unusual octagonal ‘Tower House’, evocative of the type of English picturesque garden architecture that made Nash so admired. Yet, these are very modern buildings.

The latest materials and finishes as well as Mark Wilkinson kitchens are employed throughout as well as rusticated stucco stone and clear glazed metal windows. Meanwhile, private balconies allow you to make the most of your surroundings.

The understated, elegant surroundings of the Sundridge Park spa complex have been designed by Syntax to deliver a refreshing and invigorating experience. After being greeted at the reception area residents enter a magnificent lounge area perfect for relaxation and refreshments.

Alongside the 25 metre swimming there is a sauna, steam room and whirlpool as well as a beauty and holistic therapy rooms providing the same level of pampering you’d expect from the best exclusive, private spas. Furthermore, a well equipped gym and tennis court have been incorporated for the exclusive use of all residents.

With quality schools and shopping – everything from food stores to specialist boutiques – close by, there is more to living at Sundridge Park than first meets the eye. It is an oasis from modern city living located near to everything you need to get the most from life.

Prices for homes at Sundridge Park currently range from £900,000 to £5million. For further information visit Sundridge-park.co.uk.
