HATTON COURT, WINDLESHAM, SURREY

A detailed proposal (un-built) for a new house on a large site in Surrey approached by a winding drive through mature woodland.  The house was to provide for a large extended family and numerous domestic staff.   The buildings are of two colours of brick with stone dressings, white painted timberwork and a slated roof.  The main part of the house has three storeys above ground (including the attic) and basement below.  The formal entrance is on the East, a service court with five garages and staff accommodation on the North, and on the West a group of single storey buildings including a leisure and pool suite.  All the main reception rooms open onto the garden on the South.

The main entrance leads to a central stair hall, rising through three storeys to a domed roof-light.  There are four main reception rooms and a family dining/kitchen opening off the central hall.  The service areas include a service kitchen, secondary stairs, and a lift to all floors. A large double bedroom suite and two guest suites occupy he first floor.  There are six further bedrooms suites and a sitting room on the second floor.  There are extensive leisure facilities in the basement.
