White Lion Place Cobham Surrey A Painshill Park, Cobham Located on Portsmouth Road, in the heart of Cobham, White Lion Place is an exclusive collection of 30 newly-built and converted houses, apartments and duplexes, designed with retirement in mind. The six converted properties are the result of Beechcroft’s careful conversion of a Grade II listed building that played a major role in Cobham’s history. The former White Lion was the first stop on the stagecoach route from London to Portsmouth and, whilst the elevations are mainly 18th century, parts of this historic building date back to the 16th century. The 24 newly built homes, set in three buildings – Barley House, Mackay House and The Malthouse include a collection of two, three and four-bedroom apartments and duplexes along with a three-bedroom house. Each unique new home provides plenty of generously-proportioned living space and all have outside space in the form of private gardens, terraces, balconies, Juliette balconies or roof terraces. All the stylish, energy-efficient homes at White Lion Place have been designed to reflect the grandeur of the listed building and historical relevance of the site and each features the contemporary, high quality specification that is a hallmark of all Beechcroft properties. 1 Discover a new beginning Beechcroft, one of the country’s leading retirement developers, has an excellent reputation for creating elegant houses and luxurious apartments for home buyers over the age of 55.
