Originally designed in 1765 by the renowned Sir William Chambers, architect to King George III, this exceptional property was commissioned by George Brodrick, 3rd Viscount Midleton. Although initially incomplete, the mansion was finished by the Viscount's son in 1777 and remained in the Midleton family for almost two centuries until 1947. Situated within the exclusive Peper Harow private estate boasting country homes, cottages, and a picturesque church, Peper Harow House offers panoramic views of the River Wey, surrounding countryside, and one of England's earliest cricket fields designed by the legendary Lancelot 'Capability' Brown.
In 1989, a significant fire damaged a portion of the mansion, prompting a meticulous restoration guided by English Heritage. In 1998, whilst reserving the buildings historical significance, the property was transformed into seven exquisite apartments, where apartment 2 was born. The entire property underwent extensive restoration, marrying modern amenities with period charm, resulting in a residence of unparalleled grandeur.
Spanning three floors, Apartment 2 comprises four main bedrooms, each with its en-suite, a spacious office or fifth bedroom, a grand dining room, a spectacular stairwell, a billiards room, a morning room, a beautiful arched basement kitchen and drawing room complete with 5 meter high ceilings and kitchenette. Residents also enjoy access to a double garage and the sprawling 19 acres of land that the estate occupies.
Accessed via a private drive through its park, Peper Harow House offers tranquility and the convenience of easy A3 access. Guildford, a mere 6 miles away, provides a charming array of eateries and retailers. The A3 seamlessly connects to the M25, M3, M4, and A331, facilitating global travel and quick access to Gatwick and Heathrow airports.
For those seeking educational excellence, renowned public schools such as Charterhouse, King Edward's Witley, Priors Field, The Royal Grammar School, Lanesborough School, Guildford High School, and Tormead School are within reach. World-class sporting facilities, including the Surrey Sports Park, the Spectrum Centre in Guildford, Cowdray for polo, and vast countryside for walking, riding, and country pursuits, add to the allure of this distinguished property.
The Peper Harow Estate, with roots dating back to Saxon times, holds the prestigious titles of a Conservation Area, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and an Area of Great Landscape Value - enhancing its historical and environmental significance.
Discover the epitome of luxury living in a residence that seamlessly blends the past with the present.
