NO ONWARD CHAIN
A delightful mansion house built in the1870's and situated in an enviable and elevated position. The house was built under the order of Queen Victoria in 1871 for a foreign ambassador. It passed hands to a wealthy property developer and then went on to become Maywood school for 'ladies' where many famous girls boarded.
During WWII the British Army requisitioned this house for use of the Women's ATS (Auxiliary Territorial Service) and so became the training ground for Princess Elizabeth where she learnt to maintain and drive vehicles, etc. There are many pictures of the Queen in and around the property and much written about her in Maywood.
In 2001, Maywood House was restored to its magnificent glory and the upper 2 levels were rebuilt in regency style architecture to maintain the character and period features, whilst modernising to today's standards. It was used as a 5 star hotel for a few years before being converted back into a family residence.
