Summary

The garden flat has many original attributes and architectural details. It is approached by a path and flight of stone steps to an imposing front door to the building. The rooms are nicely proportioned with lofty ceilings, and an extension provides a large kitchen/breakfast room with direct access to the gardens.

High Knoll was built as a large Victorian country house, the first to be built in the southern part of the town which was subsequently developed with spacious and gracious Edwardian and later houses. In 1934 the building was converted into four flats: two on each floor. A formal management company formed by the leaseholders in 2004 administers buildings insurance and maintenance of common parts.
