Has anyone heard of Wilma Lodge, Epsom Road, Ewell?

This 1950's overlay map shows the exact location, use the transparency slider on the left. Looks like the building is still there.

Also this overlay map from the 1890's shows the building as Hessle House.

The war department were considering using the wilmar lodge for premises according to the london gazette, and after it became a nursing home again

Brilliant, absolutely any information or pictures would be much appreciated, I cant really find anything about it online apart from the odd reference to it.
