Coldharbour Hall is an exceptional period home dating from 1885 forming part of a Victorian country house. The property has a rich and interesting history, designed by the well-known Victorian architect Thomas Edward Collcutt who is best known for his work on several important buildings in London including the Savoy Hotel, Lloyd's Register of Shipping and the Palace Theatre.
