A Setting Steeped in History Green Walk occupies the historic grounds of Standish House, an estate with a fascinating past stretching back almost two centuries.

Originally built around 1830 as part of Lord Sherborne's estate, Standish House later became the home of Richard Potter, a successful Victorian businessman whose daughter, Beatrice Webb, would become one of Britain's most influential social reformers.

During the First World War, the estate took on an entirely different role, serving as a Red Cross hospital and caring for more than 2,000 wounded soldiers.

In 1922, it became a specialist hospital, later forming part of the National Health Service, before finally closing in 2004.

Today, this remarkable setting has been thoughtfully reimagined as an exclusive residential development, where sensitively restored historic buildings sit alongside elegant contemporary homes.

The character and heritage of the original estate remain very much in evidence, with mature trees, established gardens and distinctive period architecture providing an evocative backdrop to modern living.
