An important marker of the international modern style, this excellent Grade ii-listed house was built in 1937 to a design by architects Walter Gropius and Maxwell Fry. It rests in approximately five acres* of private gardens, orchards and paddocks within the charming village of Shipbourne, between Sevenoaks and Tonbridge. The house was extended in recent years and now unfolds over approximately 3,700 sq ft internally, including a double garage, with six bedrooms set over two floors and a wealth of original features throughout.*further ~5 acres available by separate negotiationThe ArchitectWalter Gropius (1883-1969) was a German-born architect and a pioneer of his profession. Early in his career he worked with Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Dietrich Marcks in the office of Peter Behrens, and subsequently with Adolf Meyer for their shared practice. Between 1919 and 1932, Gropius founded the famous Bauhaus Schools in Weimar, Dessau and Berlin, which educated designers and artists including Paul Klee, Josef Albers, László Moholy-Nagy and Wassily Kandinsky. Through Maxwell Fry, a key figure in the British modern movement, Gropius emigrated to Britain in 1934, until 1937 when he moved to the United States to become a professor of architecture at Harvard University.In the course of the design and build of this house, Gropius employed the young German émigré, Walter Segal, for his experience in timber building, alongside another young, skilled German, Albrecht Proskauer, who prior to this engagement had worked with Wells Coates.The BuildingBuilt of timber, with a hardwood frame and dark Canadian redwood cedar cladding, the house was a reversion to the natural material chosen by Gropius for Sommerfeld House in Berlin, his first major work after the First World War. It is notable for being the only known weather-boarded house in England by the architect and remains a seminal example of his furthering of the use of timber in English modern houses.The TourThe house is situated off the wonderful open expanse of Shipbourne Common, at the end of a quiet no-through lane. A private driveway leads through gardens of mature trees and past a rain-fed pond, culminating in a turning area with parking bays and a garage. The house is composed in an L-shape, with a single-storey northern wing and a two-storey main block to the south under a monopitch roof with deep eaves. The lower entrance is set beneath a sloping weather hood on slender metal supports.Contained within the two-storey block are a family room with French windows onto the south-facing terrace and a long reception room, which has an original copper-headed fireplace and swathes of glazing looking onto gardens in the same direction. At the western end lies the dining room, with an original marble dining table, sideboards and copper wall lights, and bi-fold doors that open to a south-facing loggia.A versatile library space with walnut shelving and a log-burner connects the main hall with the extended kitchen and breakfast room. The kitchen is handmade by Grants of Sevenoaks with soft-touch granite worktops. It incorporates a four-oven Aga and further appliances by Neff and Bora. Underfloor heating is present beneath stone flooring and extends into the utility and pantry, which in turn opens to a central paved courtyard. A wall of bi-fold glazing in the copper-clad, sedum-roofed extension opens to the western section of garden and looks to the paddock beyond.The single-storey northern wing contains two bedrooms, a bathroom and a study, arranged along a long corridor with a series of windows to the central courtyard. There are four further bedrooms on the first floor, including the main bedroom at the western end. The suite comprises a dressing room and en suite bathroom with access to a balcony and steps down to the garden. The three other bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and a separate shower room.Outdoor SpaceGardens and paddocks wrap the house on all sides, providing an incredible sense of rural seclusion. Limestone terraces lead onto lawns dotted with mature oaks and orchards of apple, pear, damson, greengage and quince. Within a sunken western section, in what was once the ‘Italian Garden’, lies a swimming pool in need of refurbishment.The AreaShipbourne is a beautiful and peaceful village situated between Sevenoaks and Tonbridge, located within undulating landscape and traversed by the small streams of the River Bourne.

An exciting, unique development opportunity to create this sleek and modern extensive home with views over its own Grade II listed land.DescriptionLake House is situated next to a picturesque lake, which gives the property its name, within Grade II listed terraced gardens, rockery, pleasure grounds and parkland of about 6.31 acres.The gardens date back to the late 19th Century and early 20th Century as an extension to the earlier grounds, closer to the Swaylands House. Within the grounds is a boating lake, former boathouse to the south of the lake, a ha-ha to the west of the lake and the remains of the early 20th Century garden layout, including a rock garden with walls of extraordinary scale, together with steps connecting the main house and gardens to the boating lake; the Grade II listed rockery was created from locally quarried stone and, at 5 acres, was once one of the largest rockeries in Europe.The site is located within the designated Metropolitan Green Belt and High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AoNB).Description of proposal: Erection of a large, two storey, contemporary detached dwelling with partially subterranean elements within the grounds of Swaylands. The proposal also comprises of a scheme for rainwater harvesting and the installation of a ground source heat pump.Access to the site is gained from an existing private lane off Poundsbridge Lane.A brief historyWilliam Woodgate, a local solicitor and member of a prominent local family, bought a farm and 33 acres of land from Penshurst Parish in 1835. The original Swaylands house was built around 1837 for William Woodgate.Guttering boxes on the original villa marked 1842 suggest the likely date of completion. By 1859 Woodgate had sold Swaylands to Edward Cropper. Cropper employed the architect George Devey to extend the house greatly and terrace the gardens. Edward Cropper died in 1877 and the estate was bought by George Drummond. Between 1879 and 1882 Drummond made further additions to the house and in the 1890s he commissioned the Arts and Crafts architect Sir M E Macartney to build a large pilastered conservatory at the north-western end of the house. When George Drummond bought the house it was described as rather modest; he [George Drummond] spent the next seven years building wings, then tearing them down, creating an enormous residence with its own theatre, ballroom, picture gallery, orangery and even an indoor cricket pitch.The site originally was part of the larger Swaylands Estate. The rock garden, created by George Drummond, is one of the largest rock gardens of the early 20th century and whilst overgrown, the structure of the garden remains in generally good condition. It was created at a time when large scale rock and water gardens were fashionable. The rock garden, including the part in separate ownership of Swaylands House, was built from sandstone blocks from a local quarry. The design for the garden was on a grand scale, with towering walls, paths, steps, ravines and grottoes. The Grade II designation of the garden confirms its special interest as a designed landscape, and warrants its preservation. Its special significance is afforded by its unusual scale, monumentality, quality of design and construction, and its degree of survival, albeit now in fragmented ownership. George Drummond, together with his Head Gardeners Christopher and Robert Hosier, busied himself laying out plans for the biggest rock garden in the world - an expanse of 40 acres with lakes, waterfalls and huge chunks of sandstone brought from a quarry 5 miles away on farm wagons.LocationLake House is set in a superb location, on the edge of Penshurst village with its ancestral home Penshurst Place, church, tea rooms, doctors’ surgery, garage and Post Office.Comprehensive Shopping: Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Bluewater.Mainline Rail Services: Hildenbrough, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks to London Charing Cross/Cannon Street.
