Inspired by his time in America, his vision was to create an estate characterised by space, grandeur and a distinctive residential environment - a character that remains evident more than a century later.</p><p>Residents benefit from access to extensive private woodlands, with a secure pedestrian entrance located at the end of Ninhams Wood.
