Description
Completed in 1882 and built by Sir Joseph Hooker, Director of Kew Gardens, this house is steeped in history.
Joseph Hooker is also known for his close friendship with the most famous naturalist of his day, Charles Darwin (1809-1882). In fact, Darwin trusted Hooker enough to confide his radical new theory of descent with modification by means of natural selection (later called evolution by means of natural selection) in 1844, some fifteen years before Darwin wrote On the Origin of Species (1859). Although Hooker knew of this theory well in advance of its publication, he was not convinced of its importance until his own observations of the distribution of plants were completed. Darwin and Hooker remained close friends until Darwin's death. Hooker led a long and productive life and was knighted in 1877. He died in Sunningdale, England, in 1911.
The house was then converted in 1955 into four properties, 1 The Camp is the main part of the house with its own drive. The property is set within gardens of circa. 1.7 acres, benefitting from master bedroom with en suite,4 further bedrooms, 3 further bathrooms, kitchen/breakfast room, cellar, garage and 4 reception rooms (dining room has a commissioned window by Charles Darwin and his initials are embossed on the outside).
The garden still grows some of the many plants that Joseph Hooker bought back from his expeditions, that later went in Kew Gardens.
