set on one of the most prestigious private estates in england, this is an imposing mansion with sweeping views across the manicured gardens and surrey countryside beyond.
the property is approached via wrought iron gates and a sweeping driveway, which creates an impressive sense of arrival. the exterior of the house is defined by symmetry and finely detailed façade inspired by the work of john nash; a turret adds to the drama. the entrance is suitably grand: a vast oak front door opens into a panelled hall that leads to a dramatic double-height reception space, where oak flooring, ornate cornicing and columns set the tone for the interiors beyond.
the principal reception rooms are designed for entertaining. the drawing room, with its large bay window and french doors to the terrace, is flooded with light, while the formal dining room opens directly to the landscaped gardens, a beautiful setting for dinner parties in any season. a walnut-panelled study, complete with concealed screens and bespoke joinery, occupies one of the turrets and is the perfect spot for work.
the kitchen has marble-topped counters, bespoke oak cabinetry and a walk-in pantry. beyond lies the glass-roofed orangery, a well-designed breakfast room overlooking the gardens. from here, a series of doors open onto the leisure wing, where an indoor swimming pool, spa tub and steam room sit alongside a gym and secondary kitchen.
upstairs, a circular galleried landing leads to the principal suite, which enjoys panoramic views of the south-facing grounds. the suite includes a dressing room, private gym and access to the roof terrace, complete with an outdoor shower and sauna housed in a turret. five further bedroom suites are all especially generous.
