A handsome and historic Grade II Georgian mansion, Southlands was originally constructed for J.B. Wilkes, using Navel prize monies from the Napoleonic Wars. Sir William Pepys, a direct descendant of the 17c diarist Samuel Pepys, later purchased and completed the building in 1834. The property remained in the Pepys family ownership for over 60 years. Southlands was converted into its current format after the Second World War, during which time it served as the headquarters for a Canadian Army Division.

Approached via a long private drive, Southlands emerges from its peaceful rural setting, surrounded by glorious countryside and with far reaching southerly views. A tranquil idyll, the property is just 2.8 miles from mainline rail and 3 miles from Oxted town and station.
