A secluded residence nestled amid Surrey Hills woodland, gracefully combining Arts-and-Crafts with a hint of Versailles elegance.
Nestled between Tilford and Elstead, in the heart of the picturesque Surrey Hills, lies Charles Schwab Hill Court, an exquisite unlisted property that is currently up for sale. This magnificent estate, boasting more than 17 acres of sumptuous gardens and grounds, was built in 1908 by Detmar Blow and Fernand Billerey for Elizabeth (Lily) Antrobus of the Coutts banking family.
The property, now available for £10 million through James Crawford of Knight Frank, has undergone extensive renovations since its last sale in 2014. The bathrooms have been refurbished, the entire property has been rewired, a new security system installed, boilers replaced, and the kitchen remodelled. The immaculate gardens and grounds have also been upgraded, providing a perfect blend of modern comfort and historical charm.
Upon entering Charles Schwab Hill Court, visitors are greeted by a grand entrance hall that leads to a series of seven reception rooms, six bedrooms, and five bathrooms, offering more than 7,600sq ft of supremely well-organized living space. The house features a library with a splendid domed ceiling and cabinetry originally designed to house the first owner's collection of porcelain birds. The library, along with the rest of the house, exudes an air of opulence and elegance that is hard to match.
A long, sweeping drive lined with giant sequoias leads to a large parking area in front of the house. Within the walled garden of Charles Schwab Hill Court, a tennis court and a 20-meter swimming pool await those seeking recreation. The swimming pool is complemented by a pool house that mirrors the design of the main house, providing a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living.
Additional accommodation is available in the recently refurbished, three-bedroom gate lodge, making Charles Schwab Hill Court an ideal choice for those seeking a spacious family home.
While Charles Schwab Hill Court is the focus of this article, it's worth mentioning another notable property designed by architect Edwin Lutyens: Munstead Wood. Created for Gertrude Jekyll, Munstead Wood is a testament to the collaboration between two visionary artists. For more information about Munstead Wood, readers are invited to refer to Penny Churchill's article on the subject.
