The house itself is a unique one, a Victorian-era Neoclassical mansion, and in its present incarnation, with interiors by Soho House designer Susie Atkinson, it’s nothing short of spectacular.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Private trails wind through 470 acres of Surrey Hills woodland, located a short bicycle ride from the chalk slopes of Box Hill.
The rooms
Suites in the main mansion feature private balconies and heritage fireplaces, while literary-themed Village rooms offer roll-top tubs and wood-panelled bunks.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A 20-meter indoor pool sits beneath slatted timber ceilings, and heated outdoor pools border the lawn.
The spa and gym
Brian Clarke stained glass filters light over vibrant tilework, connecting thermal suites, private treatment rooms, and an attic gym.
Dogs stay too.
The Garden House Restaurant
The glass conservatory sits beside the walled kitchen garden, serving seasonal Anglo-Italian dishes made with estate produce.
The country house retreat, nestled in the woodland- and wildlife-rich Surrey Hills, was once the home of press baron Lord Beaverbrook...
Sir Frank's Bar
Teal velvet stools and a fluted brass counter sit beneath walls lined with over 350 botanical paintings.
At the table
The Dining Room prepares Josper-grilled meats and omakase menus beneath gilded Victorian ceilings in the main house.
How it began
Press baron Lord Beaverbrook purchased the estate in 1910, transforming the Victorian mansion into a weekend salon for Winston Churchill and Rudyard Kipling.
“Designer Susie Atkinson was inspired by the glory days of the 1920s and 30s and brings each of the 18 rooms…alive with a luxurious aesthetic that is both contemporary and classic”
