Fan Court was reputedly built in 1816-1818 by Sir Herbert Taylor, A.D.C to the Duke of York. This former country residence was converted into a school and eventually amalgamated with the Claremont School for girls. Nowadays, Fan Court is divided into very special, individual homes, with this property being attached and formed around a courtyard setting.
Notable detail for our property is the welcoming entrance hall with its galleried landing, the well-proportioned rooms with high ceilings, the very generous kitchen/dining /family room overlooking the front courtyard. To the first floor are 3 bedrooms and bathroom with one of the bedrooms forming a flying freehold over the arch below.
We thoroughly recommend this property for its accommodation and generous proportions, as well as its location within this historic group of houses.
OutsideThe garden lies opposite the house and is predominantely woodland, providing a natural landscape. There is also a garage within a block that belongs to the house.
