MILBOURNE COURT, ESHER, SURREY

This high-density gated development contains a combination of 6 town houses with private gardens and 21apartments, all provided with underground car-parking. Roughly a third of the accommodation involved the refitting of an existing building, part Victorian, part Edwardian.

The town houses have three or four bedrooms. The apartments have two, three or four bedrooms; some of the top-floor apartments have mezzanine galleries in the roof space. The construction is generally of load-bearing blockwork with precast concrete floors; with facings in brick and precast stone. Now called Princess Square.
