Description
Seller Insight
What immediately drew us to the penthouse was the extraordinary quality of light, the privacy afforded by the terraces, and the generous space that allows for truly gracious living. Every room is beautifully bright, with captivating vistas throughout the seasons over the grounds.
The home is exceptionally well suited to entertaining, with a seamless connection betweenthe interior and the outdoor terraces. In the summer months, hosting is a joy—guests naturally spill out onto the terrace to take in the views—while in winter, the atmosphere indoors becomes warm and inviting. The living room has become the heart of the home, it’s where we spend most of our time. It’s an incredibly special space.
Day-to-day living here is exceptionally easy. The concierge service handles everything from food deliveries to dry cleaning, bringing it all directly to the door. The spa facilities have been a tremendous addition to our lifestyle. We swim every morning and, usually have the pool to ourselves. Guests absolutely love it—it feels like offering them a private spa experience.
As frequent travellers, the security of the estate offers invaluable peace of mind. Knowing everything is safe while we’re away is quite unparalleled. Its proximity to Heathrow—just 20 minutes—makes travel incredibly convenient; it’s entirely possible to be home and enjoying a drink on the terrace within an hour of landing.
It’s rare to find a property that combines such expansive outdoor space with this level of privacy and security. Altogether, it offers a lifestyle that is both refined and effortlessly comfortable.

The renovations in 2008 stayed true to this principle.
Upon completion, Country Life lauded Charters Estate as “One of the last great country houses to be built in Britain” and the “Blueprint for future country-house living”. Confirming its social status, Charters went on to play host to Sir Winston Churchill and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, post abdication.
