About this property

Bayford Lodge is an exceptional and highly individual Art Deco?style detached family residence of Special Local Interest, discreetly nestled within a secluded private cul-de-sac in Epsom's coveted College Area. Rarely does a home of such architectural character, historical significance, and contemporary refinement come to market in this location. Originally the home and creative studio of celebrated illustrator Frank Hampson?creator of the iconic Dan Dare for Eagle comic?Bayford Lodge was his residence between 1954 and 1985. The property therefore represents not only a beautifully crafted family home, but also a tangible piece of local cultural heritage. The current owners have undertaken an ambitious and meticulously executed programme of refurbishment, investing close to £500,000 to comprehensively reimagine the property for modern living while respecting its Art Deco origins. The result is a striking four bedroom home that effortlessly marries period detail with contemporary sophistication, offering an exceptional standard of finish throughout. Every element of the home has been carefully considered and enhanced.
