An exceptional contemporary house, situated within the Mill Hill conservation area, in a fine elevated position with magnificent views across the Totteridge Valley. The property affords spacious lateral living and entertaining space. Kingshead House gets its name from the ancient ale house built on its site sometime between 1705 and 1709. Called then 'The Queens Head' in honour of Queen Anne, the reigning monarch, the name was changed to 'The Kids Head' on the accession of George I. The sheep dip pond a hundred yards further along The Ridgeway points to the taverns customers, as being the sheep drovers en route for the London market. In the eighteenth century the property was owned by the clearly wealthy Haleys, for they were 'Moneyers of the King's Mint'. In 1947 the ale house and its cottages were demolished and the present building was later designed and built by the well-known architect, G. Kaufmann. Its architectural value has been appreciated in the press and in the TV program 'Des Res'. Kingshead House is located in Mill Hill village with a rural feel but within 1 k of the A1 giving great access in central London and easy acess to the A41, M1 and M25. Mill Hill east underground (Northern Line) is within 2 k.

ARCHITECTURE AND HISTORY Galloway House is an imposing George II Category "A" Listed Palladian mansion house of national significance. It was built for Alexander Stewart, Lord Garlies, later the 6th Earl of Galloway. The family seat was previously at Garlies Castle then at Glasserton. When Glasserton was destroyed by fire in 1734, the 5th Earl set about building another house. However his heir, Lord Garlies, decided a new grand mansion was called for. He was well known for his extravagant personality and generous hospitality. He chose to situate it near the old fishing hamlet of Carsewell at Pouton, overlooking Wigtown Bay, which he described as the healthiest, pleasantest, most agreeable and convenient place in the whole estate. A design submitted by William Adam was amended by the architect Sir John Clerk of Penicuik, Lord Garlies kinsman and the great arbiter of taste of the day. Lord Garlies commissioned the master mason, John Baxter, to build his new house. The house overlooks the Solway Firth and was built from 1740, taking 5 years to complete. It was later worked on by architects Robert Milne in 1764 and William Burn in 1842. The construction is of whinstone and elaborately carved and dressed red sandstone, with slate and lead pitched roofing. The total floor space, including two staff flats and outbuildings, is about 35, 000 sq ft. Well preserved, with conditions created for remaining refurbishment, extensive upgrading and preparation works having already been undertaken. The total floor space, including two staff flats and outbuildings, is about 35, 000 sq ft. Well preserved, with conditions created for remaining refurbishment, extensive upgrading and preparation works have already been undertaken. There is flexibility in the size and layout of the building, which makes it an outstanding family home with potential for additional, complimentary commercial useage. The house is set in listed and protected parkland and farmland and enjoys legal access to the adjoining sandy Rigg Bay beach. The family name of the Earls of Galloway is Stewart which is one of the most significant clans of Scotland, and their direct descendants date back to Robert the Bruce. The Clan Stewart was active in most of Scotland’s wars. A great number of clansmen were killed at the final battle of Culloden, fighting for Charles Edward Stuart, Bonnie Prince Charlie. The House of Stewart not only provided all the monarchs of Scotland from 1371 to 1603, but also of the united crowns of Scotland and England from 1603 to 1714 and through time, 13 Dukedoms and 17 Earldoms in Great Britain. The Stewarts also provided two British Prime Ministers and held Dukedoms in Italy, France and Spain. The Royal Stewart tartan is worn by HRH Queen Elizabeth II. The Garlies branch had associations with Robert I, James I, Mary Queen of Scots, Bonnie Prince Charlie, Queen Anne, Robert Burns, Lord Nelson, Wellington, Walpole and Gladstone among many others. The poet Robert Burns, whom the 7th Earl of Galloway refused to receive at Galloway House, disliking his politics, satires him vigorously in Epigrams against the Earl of Galloway as shown in the following extract: What dost thou in that mansion fair, Flit Galloway, and find Some narrow dirty, dungeon cave, The picture of thy mind. However, the Earl is described in an obituary: Perhaps there never was a nobleman more deservedly and sincerely regretted by so many distinguished families and connections, and by so many poor people, long employed, and supported by him. ACCOMMODATION Principal Floor Internally, the property has grand reception rooms and period features. The principal reception rooms look out over the garden to the waterways of Wigtown Bay and the Solway Firth and then to the distant Cumbrian hills.

HISTORY Fort Picklecombe was commissioned in the mid 19th century by Lord Palmerston, Foreign Secretary and then Prime Minister under Queen Victoria. Being an island, Great Britain was at risk from large scale enemy invasion by sea, particularly from France. Palmerston ordered a series of coastal forts and batteries to be built in this area to defend the large naval base at Devonport near Plymouth. The coastal entrance to Plymouth is known as Plymouth Sound, and was to be defended by Fort Picklecombe to the west, Fort Bovisand to the east, and a smaller fort on the Plymouth Sound breakwater. Guns were removed from the fort in the 1920s but after the outbreak of the World War II it was reactivated and manned by the Coastal Artillery. Just down the coast to the west of the fort range finder and searchlight positions were made. The remains of these positions still remain today. After the war, the fort was decommissioned and it stood derelict for many years. Eventually it was offered for sale to property developers and in the early 1970s it was converted to 103 residential apartments. A grand building, called the Officers’ Mess stands in an elevated position above the main fort complex. It is said that in order to meet the demands of the then landowner, the Earl of Edgcumbe, the officers mess had to emulate Warwick Castle, complete with towers and castellations. In the spring of 2007 work was well under way to convert the Officers Mess into apartments. Today the officer’s mess is an exclusive development of nine luxury apartments including two penthouses, with stunning coastal views over Plymouth Sound. The property is adjacent to Mount Edgecombe Country Park and has views of Kingsand and Cawsand Bay to the West and Jennycliffe to the East. A quiet rural retreat yet only a couple of miles as the crow flies from the urban sprawl of Plymouth. LOCATION Fort Picklecombe is located on western side of Plymouth Sound, close to Mount Edgcumbe Country Park. The Park has 865 acres of beautiful countryside with prepared walks and paths. Access is immediately behind the Fort. The City of Plymouth is easily accessible by the Cremyll Pedestrian Ferry. There are parking facilities at the ferry terminal and the scenic trip across the Sound takes 7 -8 minutes. The service operates throughout the day and into the evening. Alternatively, travel by car ferry from Torpoint. The service runs continuously at peak time and throughout the day and has recently been upgraded to provide a quick and efficient route to town. To travel by road, the A38 at Trerulefoot is about 11 miles away and provides good access via the Tamar Bridge to the Devon Expressway. This provides access to Plymouth City Centre and continues to join the M5 Motorway at Exeter. For golfing enthusiasts there are a number of excellent golf courses throughout the area including the world famous St Mellion Golf Course (designed by Jack Nicklaus) just 30 minutes drive (subject to road conditions) as is Looe Down Golf Course, while the stunning sea views from the cliff top of Whitsand Bay Golf Course. The area is famous for its sailing and water pursuits with the advantage of the sound where large yachts race in both summer and winter seasons. It is supported by an abundance of moorings, marinas and harbours for the seafaring comm. unity. Both the Ostar race and the Trans Atlantic race start from the Sound. Furthermore, there is a spectacular flow of Naval Vessels coming and going to ensure that the view is constantly changing.

When calling for a viewing please quote ref: Mpfs 101801 Presented in excellent decorative order, an individual and spacious family home built to a high specification in one of Plymouth’s most historic buildings offering 4 bedrooms (2 ensuite), 2 Receptions, large kitchen / breakfast room, family bathroom, cloakroom and a self-contained detached garden / studio flat with landscaped garden and ample off road parking. 4 Bedrooms (2 Ensuite) Further Family Bathroom & Cloakroom 2 Receptions Large Kitchen / Breakfast Room & Utility Detached Garden Studio / Flat Landscaped Walled Gardens Historic Setting Ample Off-Road Parking Presented In Excellent Decorative Order Built To A High Specification Gas Fired Central Heating Underfloor Heating Grade Ii Listed History Bell View is a unique character Grade ll* Listed residence which originally formed the east wing of Manadon House which dates back to 1227 and is reputed to be the oldest house within the boundary of Plymouth. In 1935 the property was sold to Lord St Levan who subsequently sold the house and 100 acres of land to the Admiralty to create The Royal Naval Engineering College and was given the name Hms Thunderer in 1946. The house itself became the official residence of its commanding officer and over the years was visited by the Queen and other members of the Royal Family. When the college closed in 1995 Manadon House, together with it’s various associated buildings and approximately 4 acres of land was ring- fenced as a measure to protect its unique setting and heritage. Planning permission was eventually granted to create six unique, character properties and Bell View was designed and created by its current owners from the East Wing. The house takes its name from the bell, dating back to 1853, which straddles the two chimneys on the north gable (above Bedroom 3). Still in working order, it is believed that it was fitted by the Admiralty and served to indicate Sunday church services which were held in the Chapel immediately behind the East Wing. Situation Crownhill’s popular shopping area is just 10 minutes walk away whilst a short drive away there is the main A38 Expressway providing easy access to the M5 in one direction and Cornwall via the Tamar Bridge in the other direction. Derriford Hospital is approximately three miles away whilst Yelverton, The Dartmoor National Park and the market town of Tavistock are all easily commutable. As one would expect from a city the size and importance of Plymouth it has its own airport, regular express rail connections to London, and the cross channel Ferry Terminal which operates a daily sailings to France and Spain. Description Bell View is the result of a sensitive and comprehensive refurbishment of the original Queen Anne building by the current owners to create a spacious and stylish family home which blends together its historic features including granite fireplaces, high ceilings and exposed beams with 21st Century creature comforts like under floor heating and home cinema systems. The modernisation didn’t just address itself to cosmetic features and the property underwent a major programme to replace the wiring, plumbing, timbers and insulation whilst remaining sympathetic to its Grade II* Listing. As a result there is a wealth of original features to be found throughout the property, in particular the huge granite lintel which spans the fireplace in the kitchen / breakfast room. On the ground floor all of the principal rooms offer well-proportioned, light and airy accommodation. The impressive kitchen / breakfast room with its granite lintelled chimney forms the heart of this modern family home by offering plenty of space for everyone to sit and relax, watch mum and dad work in the stylish kitchen and then eat the finished result. To make sure the kitchen doesn’t get too cluttered there is a well appointed utility room set just off it. As one would expect in a property of this size for more formal occasions there is a separate Dining Room with another impressive fireplace that is flooded with light thanks to high windows that overlook the front and rear gardens. Set just off the Dining Room there is a hall that opens into the rear garden. The cloakroom can be found here as well as the staircase which leads up to the First Floor. A short flight of steps lead up into the Sitting Room which like the other principal rooms also has another inset fireplace as well as boasting its own home cinema system. Upstairs the master bedroom suite has its own ensuite shower room as does the second bedroom. The well appointed family bathroom sits between the second and fourth bedrooms whilst at the other end of the landing the third bedroom can be found. Thanks to the exposed beams, high ceilings double glazed roof lights the feeling of light and space continues on this floor. One feature which is probably unique to Bell View is the Garden Studio. What was originally a fuel store, then latterly a store for Hms Thunderer’s Officers’ Mess, has become a stylish and contemporary space which can lend itself to a variety of uses. Comprising a work area, store / bedroom, and wet room it could easily provide an independent teenager with their own space, be used as a work space or provide a garden gym to name but a few uses. The main gardens lie to the rear of the house and can be divided into a terraced courtyard immediately to the rear of the main hall and the main garden which runs up to the rear walls and gate where there is allocated parking for two cars. To the front of the house there is ample parking and turning space for several cars. In summary Bell View now offers spacious, flexible and comfortable modern family accommodation in a historic, landmark building surrounded by 4.5 acres of gardens close to the heart of Plymouth. Accommodation Ground Floor Kitchen / Breakfast Room 5.24m x 6.33m (17’2†x 20’9â€) This is the heart of the home and provides plenty of space for the family to sit, relax, cook and eat in one comfortable, stylish space.

HISTORY Fort Picklecombe was commissioned in the mid 19th century by Lord Palmerston, Foreign Secretary and then Prime Minister under Queen Victoria. Being an island, Great Britain was at risk from large scale enemy invasion by sea, particularly from France. Palmerston ordered a series of coastal forts and batteries to be built in this area to defend the large naval base at Devonport near Plymouth. The coastal entrance to Plymouth is known as Plymouth Sound, and was to be defended by Fort Picklecombe to the west, Fort Bovisand to the east, and a smaller fort on the Plymouth Sound breakwater. Guns were removed from the fort in the 1920s but after the outbreak of the World War II it was reactivated and manned by the Coastal Artillery. Just down the coast to the west of the fort range finder and searchlight positions were made. The remains of these positions still remain today. After the war, the fort was decommissioned and it stood derelict for many years. Eventually it was offered for sale to property developers and in the early 1970s it was converted to 103 residential apartments. A grand building, called the Officers’ Mess stands in an elevated position above the main fort complex. It is said that in order to meet the demands of the then landowner, the Earl of Edgcumbe, the officers mess had to emulate Warwick Castle, complete with towers and castellations. In the spring of 2007 work was well under way to convert the Officers Mess into apartments. Today the officer’s mess is an exclusive development of nine luxury apartments including two penthouses, with stunning coastal views over Plymouth Sound. The property is adjacent to Mount Edgecombe Country Park and has views of Kingsand and Cawsand Bay to the West and Jennycliffe to the East. A quiet rural retreat yet only a couple of miles as the crow flies from the urban sprawl of Plymouth. LOCATION Fort Picklecombe is located on western side of Plymouth Sound, close to Mount Edgcumbe Country Park. The Park has 865 acres of beautiful countryside with prepared walks and paths. Access is immediately behind the Fort. The City of Plymouth is easily accessible by the Cremyll Pedestrian Ferry. There are parking facilities at the ferry terminal and the scenic trip across the Sound takes 7 -8 minutes. The service operates throughout the day and into the evening. Alternatively, travel by car ferry from Torpoint. The service runs continuously at peak time and throughout the day and has recently been upgraded to provide a quick and efficient route to town. To travel by road, the A38 at Trerulefoot is about 11 miles away and provides good access via the Tamar Bridge to the Devon Expressway. This provides access to Plymouth City Centre and continues to join the M5 Motorway at Exeter. For golfing enthusiasts there are a number of excellent golf courses throughout the area including the world famous St Mellion Golf Course (designed by Jack Nicklaus) just 30 minutes drive (subject to road conditions) as is Looe Down Golf Course, while the stunning sea views from the cliff top of Whitsand Bay Golf Course. The area is famous for its sailing and water pursuits with the advantage of the sound where large yachts race in both summer and winter seasons. It is supported by an abundance of moorings, marinas and harbours for the seafaring comm. unity. Both the Ostar race and the Trans Atlantic race start from the Sound. Furthermore, there is a spectacular flow of Naval Vessels coming and going to ensure that the view is constantly changing.
