Commissioned in 1973 by a local Seasalter family, Robin Wilson’s design was to encapsulate aspects of the architecture they had seen on their extensive travels. Focused around its secluded central courtyard, the property afforded privacy to its sun-worshipping owners; indeed, the original master bedroom featured a pull-down ’Nordic Solarium’ as gleaned from previous selling particulars.

The property was reconfigured as the family grew, the garage at one time being internal accommodation as a games room, and the top storey added by Wilson in 1983 to provide a larger ‘dorm room’ for the children and their friends.

Cambria was named after the Thames Sailing Barge of the same name, restored at Standard Quay, Faversham.
