The development has a fascinating past, meaning this leasehold house could be perfect for history buffs. In the 19th century, Reed's estate was an orphan asylum. It was called the London Orphan Asylum and housed between 500 and 600 children and 100 staff. Reportedly, it was built in Watford and moved from London due to a typhus outbreak in the city, which led to many children becoming unwell. It officially opened in 1871 and included classrooms, a large dining hall, a chapel, and reportedly even a swimming pool. In the 20th century, it later became a school and was used by the Ministry of Labour in the war.
