WOODLAWN, ST GEORGE'S HILL, WEYBRIDGE, SURREY

A large house on one of the larger sites on the St George’s Hill Estate – part of it designated as Green Belt on which no formal building is allowed. The main three-storey formal block of the house stretches across the width of the site. A service court to one side, with five garages and two staff flats, connects to a pool and leisure suite extending down the garden.

Inside is a magnificent three-storey entrance-cum-stair hall leading to formal dining room, drawing room, library and study. There is a large informal kitchen/family room and sunroom opening onto the garden and in the garden wing a cinema room, gym and pool. On the first floor are a spacious master bedroom suite and 5 further bedrooms. In the attic are two further guest or children's rooms and a large attic playroom. The house is finished in white painted render. The pool is entirely glazed on two sides with a copper clad roof.
