15 bed detached house for sale

Guildford, Surrey GU3

Designed in 1896 by the iconic architect Charles Voysey, one of the pioneers of modern British architecture, this home is a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of British architectural history.

This magnificent property is defined by its abundance of space, which includes 15 bedrooms, numerous living rooms including a grand reception hall, an expansive, double height drawing room, bar, further sitting room, media room, dining room and two offices. The home retains many original features, such as copper fireplaces, wood-paneled rooms, high vaulted ceilings, and Voysey’s signature heart haped motifs, which appear on door hinges, letterboxes, and even the unique keys.

The estate’s 27 acres include formal gardens designed by Gertrude Jekyll - extensive lawns, a private pond, orchard, tennis court, stables, a swimming pool (in need of repair), a squash court, (currently used as storage) but has the potential for ancillary accommodation and a private woodland. In addition there are two self contained apartments and multiple outbuildings which provide further flexibility. The property is licensed for weddings and events making it equally suitable as a private residence or boutique venue.

Situated on the North Downs in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the property enjoys panoramic southerly views of rolling countryside. Despite its tranquil setting, it is conveniently located near Guildford and Farnham, with excellent transport links to London (just 30 minutes from Guildford by train) and close proximity to London Heathrow Airport.

This is an unparalleled opportunity to own a home of extraordinary scale, beauty, and history, offering a truly unique lifestyle amidst one of the UK’s most sought-after locations.
