House with garden Dorset (United Kingdom)
This 19th-century house, on the edge of the New Forest, and a mile from the sea, is only an hour and a half's drive from London. Nestled in a leafy conservation area, it has distinctive terracotta hanging tiles and retains many original features including an imposing oak front door.The house has been home to the same family for over 50 years and during that time an impressive south facing garden has been established with mature planting. Verno House South is sold with recent planning permission for a beautiful re-design, the work of award-winning London-based architects Levitate. (Ref. 8/24/0761/HOU). It shows how the house can be brought up to the best of modern eco-standards while drawing on its original heritage. The property briefly comprises almost 3400 SqFt of characterful accommodation, to include four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen/diner, snug, sitting room and utility.The house was named after Rear-Admiral George Vernon Jackson who had an eventful career. His ship, the Junon, was involved in the Napoleonic Wars and was captured by the French off Guadaloupe in 1810. The rear-admiral was imprisoned in France but escaped and eventually found his way back to England. He retired to a thatched cottage on the current site of the property. When it was destroyed in a fire in 1840, a new house was built with landscaped gardens. Verno House South is half the original house which was divided in 1952. It is tucked away at the top of a drive, alongside the Tower House where the water tank was situated, Apple Cottage, where the apples were stored, and Verno Farm House which housed the stables.The house lies between Highcliffe and Christchurch on the South coast, at the Dorset/Hampshire border. There are many beaches to explore in the local area, perhaps the most popular one being at Highcliffe Castle, although the arrival of the Noisy Lobster restaurant at Avon beach, serving locally sourced seafood and artisanal coffee, has given it stiff competition.

From waterfront restaurants and historical pubs to afternoon tea at the five-star hotel Chewton Glen or fresh fish and chips on the beach, Christchurch even has its own three-day Food Festival every May. There are plenty of good schooling options locally, both in the state and independent sectors. Ballard School, nine minutes' drive away, was named Co-Educational School of the Year at the Independent School of the Year Awards 2024.Southampton is easily accessed by car, and trains to London Waterloo go from the local station Hinton Admiral, or faster trains can be picked up at Christchurch, New Milton or Brockenhurst.

Contemporary house with pool and garden Surrey (United Kingdom)
Offered at £30,000,000. This example of British modernist architecture, and the former country estate of US Ambassador John Hay Whitney, represents a unique restoration of one of the Wentworth Estate's most historic homes. Built in the 1930s by the visionary British architect, Oliver Hill, and now beautifully restored. Hill was inspired by the calm and cogent white Modernist homes of the 1920s, especially those designed by the German-American architect, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Situated in an impressive 4.1 acres, Cherry Hill's architecture is as striking today as when it was first built. Sensitive and ambitious restoration has retained the original architectural character and elegance of the property, whilst creating a whole sustainable modern home with all the space, amenities and services an owner would expect of a house in such a prestigious location. Cherry Hill's architecture immediately sets it apart from any other property in Wentworth or elsewhere in the UK. As one would expect from a contemporary house of this standing, the fit out and quality of finish is exceptional. Every effort has been placed on using a palette of fine stone, choice veneers, chromed steel, and glass. The east courtyard now houses a basement cinema, study, laundry, and wine cellar with a subterranean link to a new single-story, stand-alone pavilion which provides guest accommodation, a new plant room, and a large garage. To the west of the main house, a complete new wing has been constructed beyond the defining curved wall of Hill's original design. Planned on three levels, this provides a generous part double-height reception room, two guest bedrooms adjoining a south-facing balcony, a spa and relaxation suite, and the home's most dramatic contemporary feature - an underground indoor swimming pool with a floor which rises up to create a spacious level entertainment hall. The restoration of Cherry Hill provides not only space, but all of the amenities that a luxurious house of its proportion demands. It is rare to find a modernist house in such a generous setting. Its unique location, standing in the heart of the Wentworth Estate, was one of the many reasons for choosing to restore Cherry Hill. This is the location for many of the country's most prestigious properties, benefitting from a beautiful location just south west of the capital. London is a less than 45 minute drive. It is a location that offers a high degree of privacy and security, and is only a short distance from some of the country's most prestigious events. Highlights of the local calendar include Royal Ascot, the annual PGA Championship at Wentworth Golf Club, and the Cartier International Polo at Smith's Lawn. The property has easy access to the motorway network via the M3 and M4, Central London, and the London airports as well as the private Airfield at Farnborough. Fine dining is available at Coworth Park in Ascot and the Michelin-starred restaurants in Bray. The picturesque Virginia Water Lake and The Savill Garden are both within easy reach with horse riding at Windsor Great Park. Schooling is excellent with a wide choice, including Wellington College, Eton College, Hall Grove, Lambrook, Papplewick, St George's Windsor Castle, and St Mary's Ascot. For international schooling, there is TASIS Egham and the ACS schools in Egham and Cobham.

House with garden and terrace Surrey (United Kingdom)
Built in 2011 for the current owners, the architecture is deliberately pared back, allowing proportion, light and materials to take precedence. The result is a house that feels composed and practical, with each part carefully considered in relation to the whole. The plan is organised around the courtyard, which sits at the centre of the house and is visible from most of the principal rooms. Full-height glazing runs along its edges, drawing natural light deep into the interior and creating a consistent outlook throughout. It also gives the house a sense of privacy, with views directed inward as much as outward towards the gardens. The main living spaces are arranged across the ground floor, where scale and ceiling height are used to strong effect. The kitchen, dining and family room forms a single, open-plan space with a generous footprint, designed to accommodate both daily life and larger gatherings. Wide glazed doors open directly onto the terrace and garden, while the vaulted ceiling above introduces height without disrupting the overall simplicity of the architecture. Finishes are clean and understated, allowing the space to feel open rather than overworked. Alongside, the drawing room provides a more contained setting, positioned to overlook the courtyard and benefiting from the same considered proportions. It offers a natural alternative to the open-plan living area, whether for quieter evenings or more formal use. The bedroom accommodation is arranged across the main house, with five bedrooms in total. The principal suite is well proportioned, with a dressing room and en suite bathroom. Two further bedrooms are also en suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and separate shower room. The layout is straightforward and functional, with a clear distinction between shared and private areas. A study is also positioned on the ground floor, providing a dedicated workspace. A substantial lower ground floor extends the versatility of the house. Here, a large games room or studio offers space that could be adapted for a range of uses, from leisure to work or fitness. Alongside sits a self-contained staff or guest flat, with its own access, allowing it to operate independently from the main house when required. A laundry room, plant room and additional storage are also located on this level, supporting the day-to-day running of the house without impacting the main living areas. The house sits within grounds of approximately one acre. A broad lawn extends out from the house, bordered by mature planting that softens the clean lines of the architecture. The setting feels established and private, with the property backing directly onto the Wentworth Golf Course. The clubhouse lies within easy reach, placing the house within one of the estate’s most established and well-regarded pockets. The Wentworth Estate remains one of Surrey’s most enduring residential settings, known for its wide, tree-lined avenues and a sense of space that is increasingly hard to find so close to London. Virginia Water itself centres around the lake and its surrounding parkland, with Windsor Great Park just beyond, offering miles of open landscape. Day-to-day amenities are close at hand in the village, while more extensive shopping and dining can be found in nearby Ascot and Windsor. Rail connections from Virginia Water provide a direct route into London Waterloo, making it a practical base as well as a distinctly green one.

For car enthusiasts and collectors, there is garaging for up to nine vehicles. The house is surrounded by open countryside yet close to excellent transport links. There are regular trains to London Waterloo from nearby stations, while the M25 and Heathrow Airport are within easy reach.

House with garden and terrace Surrey (United Kingdom)
Surrounded by approximately eight acres of grounds and lying in the storied St George’s Hill estate, Hamstone House is one of Surrey’s most architecturally significant private residences. Designed in 1937 by architect Ian Forbes for the Danish-born contractor Peter Lind, the Grade II-listed house is immediately recognisable for its sweeping crescent form, sculptural symmetry and striking Neo-Georgian detailing, all inspired by the curves of a 1931 Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso watch. 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.

Set behind solid wooden gates on one of Britain's most prestigious private estates, this exceptional residence extends to just under 9,400 sq ft. Masterminded by Park Lane Developments, the newly completed mansion brings together classical English architecture and cutting-edge design. Every detail has been carefully considered, from soaring ceilings and British engineered wood floors to hand-finished cabinetry and bespoke joinery throughout. The entrance hall sets the tone: palatial in proportion, panelled, and framing a view over the rear grounds. From here, the house unfurls into a sequence of elegant reception rooms. The formal drawing room is arranged beneath a beautifully crafted coffered ceiling, with discreet folding doors leading through to the bar and kitchen beyond.
