Impressive five-bedroom family home on 1.1 acre in St George’s Hill, with leisure complex.
Prestigious private St George’s Hill gated estate with 24-hour security
Set within the privately gated St George’s Hill estate, this substantial five-bedroom detached home sits in mature grounds of just over 1.1 acres and offers exceptional ceiling heights and generous reception space across nearly 6,900 sq ft. Designed by David Le Lay and built in 1999, the house combines formal entertaining rooms, a large open-plan kitchen/family area and a leisure complex, all arranged for comfortable family living and entertaining.
The principal suite and four further double bedroom suites each have en suite facilities, making the layout well suited to a busy family or multi-generational living. The triple-aspect bespoke kitchen with central island opens to informal dining and seating areas; formal drawing and dining rooms plus a conservatory and study provide plenty of discrete living zones. High ceilings, marble flooring in the hall and classic Georgian-style elevations create an impressive arrival and entertaining experience.
A prominent feature is the leisure complex with a 12m x 5m indoor pool and jacuzzi; both are currently not in use and will require servicing or refurbishment before regular use. The grounds include a summer house, terraces, rolling lawns and a Victorian well used for garden watering. Practical benefits include an integral double garage, mains gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband.
Buyers should note ongoing costs and maintenance: the estate service charge is £4,260 per year and council tax is described as very expensive. The indoor pool and jacuzzi are currently out of commission and will need attention. The property has an EPC rating of C. Overall, this is a rare, substantial family home in a highly secure and sporty private estate, offering scope for updating the leisure facilities to suit a new owner’s needs.
