Winkworth Hill is believed to have been built in the 1890s when the land around was sold to a prominent industrialist.

The house and gardens are likely influenced by Sir Edwin Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll, with walled terracing, stone staircases and viewing areas and a noteworthy grotto, encircled with winding steps. The parkland like feel with mature trees, well stocked beds and lawns is a testimony to the original landscaping and to the maintenance by the current owners. The gardens are a truly magnificent feature.

Through the history of Winkworth Hill there have been additions and updates to the building. Most prominent is the Italianate tower which dominates the facade, thought to have been added around 1945 when nuns operated Winkworth Hill as a respite for Canadian soldiers returning home.

Many of the architectural features of Winkworth Hill remain today and have been lovingly restored and cared for by the current owners including grand stone fireplaces, winding staircase with a magnificent roof light, cast iron radiators and 3.5m high ceilings giving a feeling of grandeur and space. Whilst the property is feature packed the current owners have substantially updated it to reflect a modern contemporary feel, providing all the comforts expected of modern living. Updates include contemporary Tom Howley kitchen with AGA, and CP Hart bathrooms throughout.

Outside the landscaped gardens of just under 3 acres, include private parking for many cars, garaging, office space, workshops and storage areas, a covered dining area, gym, formal vegetable garden and stable converted to entertaining space hidden away in the woods!
