luxury houses with reception room for rent United Kingdom

Set behind electric gates on one of Coombe’s most sought-after roads, this seven-bedroom house extends to over 9,300 sq ft, with an annexe containing a gym and squash court. To the front of the house there is parking for several cars as well as a double garage with staff accommodation above. The main house has a wide entrance hall that leads to a sequence of reception rooms arranged across the ground floor. To the right is the principal reception room stretching the width of the house which opens directly onto the garden through double doors. A formal dining room sits separately, while two offices allow for flexible working. The kitchen is well arranged, centred around a double island with dining area. It connects easily to the rear garden, making it well suited to everyday living as well as larger gatherings. From the garage there is a utility area and plant room which leads through a ‘secret door’ into the family TV room. On the lower ground floor, a cinema room is set alongside a bar and wine room while a separate games room has been fitted with arcade machines. Bedrooms are arranged across the upper floors. The first floor provides four well-proportioned rooms, including a principal suite with garden views, a walk-in dressing room and a generous en suite. Two further bedrooms also have en suites, with an additional family bathroom serving the remaining room. There is a utility room on this level too. On the second floor, two further en suite bedrooms sit alongside a large, open mezzanine-style living area. Outside, the gardens are thoughtfully landscaped, with a broad lawn extending behind the house as well as a fun size football lawn to the front. Coombe sits between Wimbledon Village and Kingston upon Thames, known for its low-density character and proximity to open green space. Wimbledon Common is within easy reach via a nearby pedestrian bridge over the A3, while Richmond Park is also close by. The area is particularly well regarded for its schools, with King’s College School, Holy Cross Prep School, Kingston Grammar School, The Kingston Academy, Marymount International School and Rokeby School all nearby. Central London is approximately eight miles away, with the A3 providing a direct route into the West End and towards Heathrow.

This beautiful house sits within a private fold of the Surrey Hills, approached through its own grounds and set against open countryside. Rebuilt in recent years behind its historic façade, it combines the presence of a late 19th-century country house with the clarity and scale of a contemporary plan. The approach is deliberate. A long driveway winds through mature trees, passing a lake before arriving at a broad turning circle in front of the house. The sense of space is immediate, with over 14 acres arranged as formal gardens, woodland and open lawn, all positioned to take in uninterrupted views across the surrounding landscape. Inside, the ground floor is laid out laterally, with high ceilings and a central staircase forming the architectural focus. The principal reception rooms run along the garden frontage, with the drawing room oriented to capture long views across the grounds. A separate media room sits away from the main entertaining spaces, while the kitchen and family rooms form a substantial open arrangement to the rear, with full-width glazing opening directly onto the terrace. The kitchen is centred around a large island and supported by a fully equipped prep kitchen and utility spaces, allowing it to function at both domestic and larger-scale level. Beyond the main living areas, a dedicated indoor pool complex forms its own wing, with a pool of approximately 16 metres, spa, changing facilities and direct access onto the terrace. This sits alongside a study, formal dining room and additional reception rooms, giving the ground floor a clear distinction between formal and informal use. Upstairs, the principal suite occupies a significant portion of the first floor, arranged with two dressing rooms, a large bathroom and a private roof terrace overlooking the gardens. Four further bedroom suites are positioned across this level, with additional accommodation on the second floor, bringing the total to eight bedrooms in the main house. Ancillary buildings extend the flexibility of the estate. A garage block includes a self-contained annexe, while further outbuildings provide a gym, pavilion, studio and estate maintenance areas. This allows for guest accommodation, staff use or independent working spaces without interrupting the main house. The gardens have matured over more than a century and remain a defining part of the property. Established specimen trees, formal lawns and extensive planting are set around a lake and ornamental pond, with a network of paths moving through the grounds. A tennis court and pavilion sit within the landscape, positioned away from the house to preserve the setting. Hascombe sits on the southern edge of Godalming within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Winkworth Arboretum is close by, while nearby villages such as Hambledon and Chiddingfold offer well-regarded pubs and local amenities. Godalming, around 2.5 miles away, provides day-to-day shopping and a direct rail service to London Waterloo in under an hour, with faster connections from Guildford. Farnborough Airport is within reach and the area is known for its established schools, including Charterhouse, Cranleigh and St Catherine’s.
