6 bed detached house for sale

Ashtead House, Surrey KT21

** Guide price: £4,500,000 - £5,000,000 **

A meticulously renovated Grade II listed Georgian manor house of exceptional provenance, extending to approximately 6,300 sq ft and set within 3.2 acres of grounds. Restored under the guidance of English Heritage, the house has been carefully remodelled to preserve its architectural integrity while introducing a level of finish and functionality suited to modern living.

The home is centred around a remarkable 35 ft salon, formerly the original ballroom, which retains a sense of scale and occasion rarely found. Elsewhere, a series of well-balanced living spaces include a cinema room, games room and study, offering flexibility without compromising flow. The original 18th century staircase remains a defining feature, connecting six bedrooms across the upper floors, including a particularly well considered principal suite. A restored brick wine cellar adds further character, grounding the house in its history.

The interiors have been designed by Maurizio Pellizzoni, with a clear emphasis on craftsmanship and materials. In the kitchen, bespoke Smallbone cabinetry sits alongside Gaggenau appliances and Italian marble, with integrated technology discreetly incorporated throughout.

The grounds are a significant part of the setting, arranged to provide both structure and privacy. Mature trees, including what is regarded as the oldest tulip tree in the UK, are complemented by topiary hedging, soft planting, fountains and a comprehensive lighting scheme that extends the usability of the gardens into the evening. Multiple terraces and dining areas are positioned to follow the sun, while a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with Wolf appliances supports larger scale entertaining.

Practical elements have been carefully considered. A tennis court and games area, complete with zip wire, sit within the wider grounds, alongside a three car garage and additional parking for four vehicles. A separate service entrance provides further parking for three cars, allowing the house to function efficiently without disrupting the main approach.

Positioned within one of Surrey’s most established and sought after areas, the property offers a balance between privacy and accessibility. Central London can be reached in approximately 35 minutes, with both Heathrow and Gatwick airports within convenient distance. Nearby amenities include rac Woodcote Park, Langley Vale Centenary Wood, Epsom Downs Racecourse, Beaverbrook Hotel & Golf Club and Box Hill, all of which contribute to the area’s long-standing appeal.

The house is also well placed for a number of highly regarded schools, including City of London Freemen’s School, Epsom College and St John's School, reinforcing its suitability for long-term family living.
