House For Sale £1,750,000
If you are lucky enough to purchase this property, not only are you buying a piece of history but a true piece of workmanship and art. Steeproof was built by the Arts & Crafts architect John Sydney Brocklesby for himself and his new wife, as a new home to start their family in 1906. Brocklesby was one of two architects working for John Innes in developing Merton Park as a garden suburb around Innes’ Rutlish Manor estate. Many of the houses he designed have notably quirky features – round or semi-circular windows, inglenook fireplaces, curious porches. But for his own house, Brocklesby really pulled out all the stops: Steeproof has a roof a Swiss chalet could be proud of, topping a panelled house constructed like a house of cards on just a few massive wooden columns and beams. Surrounded by a large garden and adjacent to John Innes park (formerly part of the manor house grounds).<br /><br />
