Nestled behind electric private gates, in the centre of St George’s Hill, this historically important home which is the central major part of an arts and crafts mansion boasts exceptional views and an abundance of space both internally and externally. It sits on over an acre of manicured gardens. The home, which dates back to 1914, is South facing with magnificent views across the Surrey Hills. Outside there is a large patio, perfect for dining alfresco in the warmer months, and a swimming pool; there is also a pool house at the bottom of the grand stone steps and the driveway has parking for several cars and there is also a detached double garage.
The grandeur of the home is evident upon entry thanks to its ornate entrance porch and the large original staircase, which has a galleried landing. On the ground floor there are three large reception rooms with wonderful views, high ceilings and working fireplaces. There is a wealth of original features, including oak floors and doorways, exposed beams and leaded windows set in heavy oak yet, over the years, improvements have been made with new kitchen and bathrooms complementing the historical features of this Grade II listed house. With six bedrooms, two of which are ensuite, and four bathrooms, there is plenty of space for large families.
Access onto the private, gated estate is controlled during the day by the estate’s security personnel and is restricted at all times. St George’s Hill is set in some 900 acres and features a private championship standard golf course and a separate private tennis and squash club. The tennis club is one of the foremost racquet sports clubs in England, with 30 grass and all-weather tennis courts, two indoor courts and four squash courts. The tennis club also has a 20 metre indoor swimming pool, a well-equipped gym and a restaurant and bar. In addition to the on-site sporting facilities, there are many other challenging golf courses locally including Burhill, Wisley, Woking, Foxhills, Queenwood, Worplesdon and West Hill. Racing is available at Sandown Park, Ascot, Epsom and Windsor. Polo can be enjoyed at Guards Polo Club and The Royal Berkshire Polo Club. St George’s Hill offers an ideal location for families looking for security and privacy and there are several excellent English and International schools in the area including Reeds School, St George’s College and The ACS International School at Cobham.
