Why this property will seduce you
- Coveted Estate: Situated within the prestigious, guarded St George's Hill estate.
- Iconic Architecture: Unique crescent design by Ian Forbes, Grade II listed.
- Rare Finishes: Bespoke Venetian glass chandelier, Lalique light fixtures.
Constructed from warm honey-coloured Hamstone and discreetly positioned among mature woodland bordering St George’s Hill Golf Club, the house occupies an exceptionally private setting within what is regarded as Britain’s first gated country estate. Rumoured to have been a favourite retreat of the Duchess of Windsor and associated with wartime D-Day planning discussions, the property carries a rare cultural and architectural legacy.
Approached via a long private drive, the house reveals itself gradually through the trees before opening onto a dramatic circular forecourt centred around a fountain. The curved façade, arched glazing and ornamental gargoyles establish a strong Art Deco influence, while the proportions and craftsmanship throughout speak to the grandeur of the period.
Extending to approximately 23,688 sq ft including the gate house, the accommodation is arranged across three principal storeys and an extensive leisure level below. A vast entrance hall introduces the interiors, where a sweeping curved staircase rises beneath an extraordinary eight-foot Venetian glass chandelier commissioned specifically for the house. Lalique light fittings, English oak flooring and bespoke joinery feature throughout, while a comprehensive refurbishment in 2006 introduced air conditioning, upgraded heating systems, rewiring and double glazing.
The principal reception rooms are arranged to follow the elegant curvature of the building, creating a remarkable sequence of spaces filled with natural light. In the drawing room, towering arched windows frame uninterrupted views across the gardens, while the dining room mirrors the same graceful proportions and symmetry. Elsewhere on the ground floor are a library, playroom, catering kitchen, utility spaces and staff accommodation, all carefully integrated into the plan.
The kitchen and breakfast room combines a more relaxed atmosphere with substantial proportions, overlooking the grounds through large windows and connecting directly to the surrounding terraces. Across the house, the architecture constantly reinforces the relationship between interior and landscape, with long sightlines, curved walls and expansive glazing drawing the gardens into view.
The bedroom accommodation occupies the upper floors and includes an impressive principal suite with separate dressing rooms and double bathrooms, alongside four further ensuite bedrooms, a study and office. Several terraces and balconies extend from the upper levels, taking advantage of elevated views across the estate and surrounding woodland.
