History The Coombe Estate is an area of outstanding beauty with areas of special architectural and historic interest. The First Duke of Cambridge (7th son of George III) in 1837 bought the Coombe Estate of some 1300 acres from the Earl Spencer. The 2nd Duke of Cambridge in 1850 inherited the land on the death of this father and on his death in 1904 the Estate was passed to the Fitzgeorge Trustees who later administered the estate on behalf of the two surviving sons until 1933 when it was sold on. During the second half of the 19th Century the Coombe Estate was developed with a number of Victorian mansions in Victorian Gothic Style. Some were later demolished to create land for development and some remain today. John Galsworthy built three houses of note, one of which was 'Coombe Croft' in 1884, originally intended for his daughter. Shortly before World War II the property was acquired by the Gate House School and in 1956 by Rokeby School when it moved from Copse Hill, Wimbledon. At that time the rear grounds were sold for development to create what is now Gatehouse Close. Gatehouse Close borders what is now referred to as the Coombe Wood Conservation Area which covers approximately 40.6 hectares.           the property: The property is approached across a tarmacadam forecourt with off-street parking for three cars, leading to six steps to a glazed door with glazed side panels to...
