Gatton Close, REIGATE, RH2 0HG

Victorian cottage on Wray Lane, presumably the lodge to a large house called Glenfeulen, now Pittyfield House, the drive to which is on the left of the photo.

House dating from the 1960s development of this section of Gatton Road. In the background is Reigate Hill.

Former lodge to Hethersett, a large mid 19th Century house later accessed off Gatton Road (see Image).

Hethersett was built in 1850-60 as one of a number of large houses below Reigate Hill. In the late 19th century it was owned by an architect, Robert C Baxter, until his death in 1894. It is perhaps best known in its role from 1956 to 1992 as a college run by the RNIB training blind and partially sighted teenagers and young adults for employment. In 1992 the college moved to a new site off Redstone Hill in Redhill. Following its sale, a small development of luxury detached houses, called Hethersett Close, were built in the grounds. However, the original house, being listed, was retained. Its elevated position on a small ridge means that it is very prominent, enabling this view taken from over 500m away.

Former coach house to Little Gatton (see Image), dating from about 1850, the same date as the main house. Locally listed. The Reigate and Banstead listing particulars suggest that it was in this coach house that Sir Malcolm Campbell built his record breaking car Bluebird, but given that other sources suggest that Sir Malcolm did not buy Little Gatton until 1946, this seems unlikely.

Originally built c 1850 as Stone House, it was rebuilt in 1934 by G Church for the author Sax Rohmer. From 1946 to 1948 it was the home of Sir Malcolm Campbell - he died there on 31 December 1948. Locally listed.
