Description

This distinguished Grade II listed Neo Baroque mansion, once serving as the RAF Officers Mess during World War II, presents a remarkable opportunity for those looking to invest in a property rich with history and character. Spanning approximately 24,500 square feet, the residence features a grand central block flanked by two wings and is set on an expansive 8-acre plot adorned with mature terraced gardens and stunning vistas from its roof terrace. Originally designed for high-ranking officers—including notable figures like Winston Churchill—this spacious home boasts 35 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, alongside opulent reception areas, a ballroom, corporate kitchen, dining room, multiple offices, snooker room with bar, as well as recreational amenities such as a squash court, tennis court, basketball court, and an outdoor swimming pool complete with changing facilities. Additionally, there are over 11,000 square feet of outbuildings including 17 garages that hold potential for conversion. While the property retains many original features that echo its storied past, it is in need of modernization to unlock its full potential. Given the rising demand for upscale accommodation near Biggin Hill airport and approved planning for development within the grounds—including the construction of five substantial detached houses—this site is poised for both residential and commercial transformation. With proximity to central London and excellent transport links to both Victoria station and Battersea Heliport, this estate offers investors unique options ranging from luxury apartments to a boutique hotel or care facility. Floor plans can be provided upon request; viewings are available strictly by appointment for qualified buyers.
