Contemporary designs on Victorian grandeur V
anbrugh and Graburn are two impressively grand houses newly built in Victorian style on Palace Road, one of the most prestigious addresses in East Molesey, close to Hampton Court and the River Thames. Part of Kent Town conservation area, the two properties take their names from two legendary East Molesey figures of the past: Sir John Vanbrugh, 17th century soldier, spy, playwright and theatre manager, and William Turbett Graburn, the 19th century Surrey cricketer. With exteriors designed to complement their historic surroundings, the homes have interiors that offer thoroughly modern living space with versatile layouts and immaculate presentation.
Steve Bowring, a director at developer Capital Holdings, said: “This has been one of the most fascinating, enriching projects I have ever been involved with. We set out to create beautiful houses that were in keeping with the traditional architecture of the area, but also had spacious and bright interiors.” Trevor Rawlings of Savills Esher, who is handling the sale, added: “These are truly beautiful family homes in a very desirable area. Road and rail communications to central London are excellent and will appeal to those who may be moving out of central London for a better quality of life but still require easy access to the capital.” Palace Road, East Molesey, Surrey KT8, Vanbrugh £3.75m, Graburn £2.95m, Savills Esher 01372 461900
