High Road, Chipstead

I Shabden Park is an immaculate family home, bursting with character at every turn which incorporates a fresh, contemporary interior with uniquely traditional features. Shabden Park was originally constructed in 1740, set within parkland grounds and extensively re-modelled around 1871. Once owned by Lord Marshall, the Mayor of London at the end of World War I (circa 1918), he often invited guests to hunt and shoot on the estate including King George V and his sons, the Prince of Wales (the future Edward VIII) and the Duke of York (the future George VI).

The property has been very much loved by the current owners who have lived here for the past two decades. They have meticulously cared for each part of this unique family home, the accommodation thoughtfully designed and sometimes re-designed to allow for a change of lifestyle.
