Property description
This splendid newly converted coach house resides in what was once the Lee Green Telephone Exchange. Originally constructed in 1909, the building was designed by the renowned architect Leonard Stokes. Stokes’ original architectural drawings have been used to guide the process of restoration and repair as well as informing the design of contemporary additions. The telephone box taking pride of place in the front forecourt is an original K6 Jubilee Kiosk public call box designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott and is Grade II listed, as is the building itself.
The pad enjoys an exceptional finish boasting a bright and airy interior, vaulted roof, oversized skylights and a wide plank oak floor with underfloor heating throughout. It occupies the original stable block in the rear grounds and has an open plan layout with two separate private entrances. You also have a private south-facing walled courtyard garden and sun-lovers will be impressed by the full width sliding doors which flood the interior with light throughout the day.
