Restoration specialist Comer Homes has released 26 new homes for sale at its Royal Connaught Park scheme in Bushey. The homes, including 11 houses, are set among the grade II listed Victorian Gothic building complex.
Marlborough House, formerly the school's sanatorium, has been converted into five two and three-bedroom homes. King Edward House, once the maids' quarters and kitchens, is now 14 homes. Kent House, the school laundry, is now a quartet of three- and four-bedroom homes. And Derby House, the infirmary, has been transformed into a trio of three-bedroom homes.
Original features include vaulted ceilings, stone windows, wooden beams and cornicing. Kitchens feature brands including Poggenpohl and Miele, granite or stone worktops and, in some cases, a Champagne cooler.
All properties have underfloor heating, video entry and designated car parking and Comer's interior designer Rebecca Lloyd has worked with local suppliers to create and source furniture and furnishings that suit the grand setting.
Over the years, due to its proximity to Elstree and Pinewood Studios, the campus has been used by Hollywood and British filmmakers. The buildings provided a number of locations for the Harry Potter films, in particular as a backdrop for areas of Hogwarts.
Royal Connaught Park is set within about 100 acres of parkland. It includes a concierge, on-site health and fitness club and swimming pool, communal landscaped gardens and a courtesy shuttle bus to Bushey station.
Prices at the scheme start at £355,000 and homes in this phase known as "The Houses" range from £1.5 million to £5 million. They have three, four or five bedrooms.Agent is Statons
