St George's Hill, Weybridge, Surrey, KT13

A commanding mansion set high above its grounds with sweeping views over Surrey countryside.

Description

A striking, turreted modern mansion, this residence combines contemporary luxury with classic mid Georgian architectural inspiration, from its grand proportions to the specially commissioned ornate ceiling roses and intricate plasterwork.

The approach to the house creates an immediate sense of arrival. Passing through the wrought iron gates, the sweeping driveway curves gracefully through the grounds. At first, only the elegant turret comes into view, before the full facade reveals itself, a design influenced by the celebrated eighteenth century architect John Nash. A raised formal garden with a walkway frames the front of the home.

The impressive oak front door opens into a panelled entrance hall with a cloaks cupboard, leading through to the magnificent reception hall. With oak flooring, decorative cornicing and striking pillars, this space has been designed to create a dramatic welcome for guests.

The drawing room offers an elegant setting, featuring a large bay window and double doors opening onto the beautifully landscaped gardens.

The spacious dining room, complete with an adjoining servery, enjoys delightful garden views and access to the terrace, an ideal space for entertaining.

A highlight of the home is the walnut panelled study, part of which sits within one of the turrets. It is fitted with exceptional bespoke features including a plasma screen concealed behind a Chinese inspired painted panel, a humidor built into the bookcase, and a retractable computer screen integrated into the custom desk.

The principal kitchen is beautifully appointed with marble work surfaces and handcrafted oak cabinetry. A walk in cupboard sits directly off the space, while double doors open into the glass roofed orangery breakfast room, a charming and informal spot to dine.

On the opposite side of the orangery lies the superb indoor pool complex, complete with spa tub, two changing rooms, a cloakroom and an additional steam room.

The family room and neighbouring secondary kitchen utility room sit conveniently close to the main kitchen. Selected areas of the property also benefit from air conditioning.

Upstairs, the circular galleried landing leads to the spectacular main bedroom suite, which enjoys far reaching views over the south facing gardens and the Surrey countryside. Four guest suites are arranged around this central landing, with two additional bedroom suites located off a secondary landing.

The gymnasium, with adjoining sitting area, is accessed through the main dressing room and provides entry to the rooftop terrace. This terrace features an outdoor rain shower and a fabulous turret set sauna with ergonomic headrests, three tier seating and an integrated music system.

A secondary staircase leads to the extensive loft area, offering excellent storage.

The elevated rear garden is a key feature of the estate, beautifully designed and meticulously landscaped. A raised terrace spans the rear of the house, with steps descending to a pristine semi circular lawn bordered by vibrant flowerbeds.

This serene outdoor space offers wonderful views and a peaceful place to relax. A Victorian style greenhouse stands to one side of the garden, and beyond the manicured grounds, the land gently slopes towards the golf course.

This property also includes discreet staff accommodation with its own entrance, along with exceptional garaging on the lower ground level.
