Sandhill Park Courtyard

A unique development offering residents the opportunity to experience both historic grandeur and contemporary living.

History

Sandhill Park is a grand Grade II listed property, comprising historic barns, stables, walled gardens, and 100 acres of secluded parklands. Originally known as “Hill House”, it was constructed by John II Periam around 1720 and kept as a private residence until 1913. During World War I the house became used as a prisoner of war camp before being converted into a home for children with disabilities in 1919. In 1940 it was again requisitioned by the military and became the 41^st General Military Hospital until 1941 when it was leased to America as a neurological hospital. In 1948 it was reopened as a psychiatric hospital under the National Health Service and remained as such until it was sold in 1991 and housing was built on some of the grounds. In 2011 the building suffered serious damage after a fire on the property, as well as sustaining extensive water damage to the East Wing, top floor, and roof.

Our Vision

Our vision is to transform the Courtyard at Sandhill Park into eight beautiful, exclusive, two-bedroom homes in a relaxed rural setting. Six homes will be located in the main courtyard area with a further two found next door in similarly converted barns. All of these homes will retain feature walls, large arched doorways and windows, and open rafters which maximise ceiling height. Each residence will consist of two bedrooms, an open plan kitchen and living room, and a Jack and Jill bathroom. Each home has double doors into an individual landscaped garden and two parking spaces.

Progress

The project was completed in 2022 and eight of the units are now occupied.
