When Lord Waring of Waring and Gillow fame, bought the estate of Foots Cray Place in the late 19th Century he commissioned architect Frank Atkinson to design and build a ?Summer House? in the grounds for his enjoyment and relaxation. It was also used for
bowls and archery and reputedly housed his mistress at some stage! After the Estate fell into disrepair during the mid 20th Century The Pavilion was bought by the present owner who has completely restored this truly unique property within the confines of its
grade II listing and created a lovely home.
With its distinctive domed roof design, the accommodation comprises an elegant living room with panelled walls that incorporate concealed storage cupboards, multi-paned windows to three sides and French doors leading to the verandah and gardens. The living
room also features oak flooring and a period fireplace gas coal affect fire. The ground floor also comprises a three piece bathroom and fitted kitchen/dining room with built in appliances. The first floor is exclusively the dramatic ?circular? bedroom that
offers almost 360° views of Foots Cray Meadows. The bedroom also enjoys a large balcony and nearly 14' of ceiling height.
The house benefits from gas central heating and outside enjoys a 200' rear garden, mainly laid to lawn but also enjoying much privacy from the high hedging. The front garden also provides off street parking for several vehicles. Adjoining the house itself is
a brick built outbuilding which originally housed a boiler to heat his Lordship's outside bath. Sadly the workings have been lost in favour of useful storage.
Located off Rectory Lane and private gates. Just 1 mile from Sidcup station and 1/2 mile from Sidcup High Street. Jnct 4 of M25 is just 5 miles away.
