Victorian - A beautiful two bedroom split-level apartment located in an historic building, originally built in 1882 by the architect George Sherrin, who took a number of plots, notably in Station Lane, and built a number of desirable country residences for the middle classes. The Gate House, was the former home of the architect. After Sherrin's death the building became a school and remained one until the 1940s. By the late 1970s The Gate House was empty and prey to vandals and its future was in doubt. However in the 1980s the house was greatly extended and in the gardens Gate House Mews created.
