The Property comprises a former convent with attached chapel and ancillary and curtilage buildings. The main convent building and attached chapel is designated as Grade II* Listed. There are separately listed buildings located within the Property. The method of disposal is by Private Treaty and invitations are sought for all enquiries. The Property was originally developed as a convent for the Anglican Society of All Saints Sisters of the Poor, with buildings designed by Leonard Stokes in 1899 and constructed in 1901. In 1973, it was acquired by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Westminster and converted as a pastoral centre. Comer Homes subsequently purchased the Property in 2014. The main building is built around a garden and has an inner cloister leading to the meeting rooms. In 1924, an additional wing, St Raphael’s, was erected. The Comper Chapel was a later addition to the Property designed by Ninian Comper with the fist half completed in 1927 and later expanded in 1963. Within the grounds lies Chantry Island, a Scheduled Monument now marked by a wooded area and shrine encircled by a moat. Historically, it formed an island in the River Colne.
