Vanbrugh Castle, modeled on the French Bastille, was built in 1718 by highly acclaimed architect Sir John Vanbrugh who lived there with his wife Henrietta Maria Yarborough. The architect modeled it on Bastille where he was imprisoned in 1690 for two years after being accused of espionage. Sir John is best known as the designer of UNESCO World Heritage Site Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire and Castle Howard in North Yorkshire.
Vanbrugh Castle has since been used as an RAF school for the sons of servicemen killed in the World Wars but was restored and refurbished by the Blackheath Preservation Trust into four independent luxury living space. Grade I Listed EPC Rating Exempt.
