The Lillesden Estate was bought and built by Colonel Edward Loyd. The home was passed down to the son of Edward Loyd and was requisitioned and used in World War I as a hospital for wounded soldiers. After the World War the house and a few acres were sold separately to the Saint Wilfreds Boys Preparatory School in 1922. 14 years after it was sold again and became the Saint Cuthberts Girls School. Sadly, World War II occurred in 1940 and it was requisitioned as a hospital again. After the war was over it became a school again, this time the name was changed to Lillesden and expanded. By 1975, the school merged with Bedgebury and became the Bedgebury Lower School, but was close in 1999. In-keeping with its impressive legacy, this Grade II listed private residence has since been sensitively restored to creat a magnificent collection of individual luxury apartments, whilst creating an exciting next chapter for this historic address.28p describing the 8 lots - Lillesden House, Gardens, Grounds etc; East Heath Farm, The Beeches.
