As well as a metal spiral staircase, the home had a large ornate fireplace and many other period features.
Before it was renovated, the main house had seven bedrooms, including a master with en-suite bathroom.

Modern twist: The ex-Chelsea defender wanted to revamp the garage at his £4.35million Surrey mansion
All change: Terry wanted to add a staff quarters to the garage, at the 18th century seven-bedroom pad he and wife Toni bought in 2019
Stumbling block: But after furious opposition from angry neighbours, Guildford Borough Council planning chiefs stuck the boot in to some of the star’s grand proposals
Motors: The Premier League star wanted to replace the garage with a larger one to house his expensive car collection
‘The original part of the house was built in 1752 and later extensions were added in the 20th century.
‘The current owners have renovated and refurbished the property during their ownership, reinstating many of the period style features.’
The ex-Chelsea defender wanted to revamp the garage at his £4.35million Surrey mansion, so it can house his flash motors such as a Ferrari 275 GTB and a £2 million Enzo. He also planned to build an outdoor party space by his pool – with a covered seating area and bar.
Terry wanted to add a staff quarters to the garage, at the 18th century seven-bedroom pad he and wife Toni bought in 2019.
But after furious opposition from angry neighbours, Guildford Borough Council planning chiefs stuck the boot in to some of the star’s grand proposals.
He added: ‘No very special circumstances have been demonstrated which would outweigh the inherent harm to the Green Belt.’
The Premier League star wanted to replace the garage with a larger one to house his expensive car collection.
The plans said: ‘The proposed development comprises a detached triple garage with accommodation for ancillary domestic staff within the roof space above to replace, and broadly in the same position as, an existing detached triple garage.
Amazing: John previously gave fans a glimpse at the lavish renovations at his £4.35m Surrey mansion which included a wine and cigar room, swimming pool and luxury kitchen
Coming along nicely: The former England captain, who is now Aston Villa assistant coach took to Instagram to share a video of the home
Lovely stuff: John’s impressive property is set in eight acres of land, just a stone’s throw away from his old club Chelsea’s training ground in Cobham, Surrey
Updates! It has a library, stables and tennis court, yet the former footballer and wife Toni were keen on extending it more with lavish renovations
Summer time! The sporting star also gave a glimpse at the family’s luxury swimming pool and hot tub, which is still being built, and it overlooks the tennis courts
‘And a single-storey covered outdoor seating area – open to each of its four sides – adjacent to the outdoor pool area, following the demolition of the existing garage and a single-storey domestic storage outbuilding.’
The garage would have been 111sq/metres with 460 metres of volume.
They said neither the triple garage or outdoor party area was allowed in that part of Surrey – which has been designated Green Belt to protect it from further development.
In the decision report, case officer Chris Gent said: ‘The proposed replacement garage, by virtue of its size, height, bulk, mass, position and floor area, would be materially larger than the building it is to replace and would have a greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt than the existing development.
‘The proposed covered outdoor seating area constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt.’
John bought the plush pad for £4.35million in 2019 and the 18th century house is just a stone’s throw away from his old club Chelsea’s training ground in Cobham, Surrey.
The property was said to be the former footballer’s fifth in the area after having involvement with four others on the nearby Crown Estate in Oxshott, one of Britain’s most expensive areas to live.
Firstly, in 2002, John purchased a six-bed family pad in 2013 before selling it for £5million in 2013.
He then acquired golfer Colin Montgomerie’s house for £6.5 million in 2014 which boasts a two-bed staff annexe, four reception rooms and six-bathrooms.
John and the family lived here for several years, however moved out after the house was burgled while they were on a skiing holiday.
Family: He has been married to wife Toni since 2007 and in 2006 they welcomed twins Summer and Georgie, now 17
He also built a nine-bedroom white mansion nearby in 2011 – which he intended to live in with Toni and their twin children.
However, before they had the chance to move in, they received an out of the blue offer for £16 million from Sultan Qaboos bin Said, the Sultan of Oman.
John also bought another nearby property for £4.5 million in 2017, and lodged plans to demolish it and build two luxury houses in its place.
He has been married to wife Toni since 2007 and in 2006 they welcomed twins Summer and Georgie, now 17.
