Weston homes, Gun Hill Park

The Cambridge Military Hospital was built between 1875 and 1879 by Martin Wells and Co. of Aldershot in an Italianate neo-classical style, with warm yellow brickwork and beautiful Bath stone features. Built in staggering proportions, the ground floor had an impressive corridor, extending a quarter of a kilometre.

A distinguishing feature of Gun Hill Park is the iconic clock tower which once housed a large bell, one of a pair captured during the Crimean War. The other remains in Windsor Castle to this day.

In front of The Cambridge’s main façade and clock tower sits the newly designed square. The main entrance of the building is accessed through two grand porches, via the restored original steps. The elegance of the original elevations has been preserved and further enhanced through the extensive refurbishment of the building. Between the pavilion wings, Weston Homes has created private gardens and parking for residents.

The main building has been sympathetically converted to include apartments and houses, grand communal foyers and spaces, as well as a stunning penthouse which incorporates the clock tower.
