This elegant house was built in 1819 "for Roger Lee, a prosperous hop factor" http://ezitis.myzen.co.uk/springwellhouseoas.html . From after the First World War, the building was used as a series of schools, including an LCC open air school for delicate or tuberculous children. It is now occupied by the Parkgate House School, a preparatory school. The listed building is described at https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1065562 . Its coach house, not really visible here, is also listed.
