Description
Tumber House was built in 1913 in the Arts and Crafts style. The property, which is not listed, has immense stature, superb room proportions and impressive ceiling heights throughout. Notable architectural features include; square bays, restored stone mullion windows, wood panelling, curved ceilings, wide fireplaces, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and wooden floors. The house is orientated so that the principal reception rooms and bedrooms benefit from splendid southerly rural views. The current owners bought the property 25 years ago and have periodically refurbished and updated it. The leisure wing was added in the early 2000s. In 2010 they commissioned the orangery and created the outdoor entertaining area. The top floor of the house provides useful overflow accommodation or could be laid out in its entirety (or partitioned) as a staff apartment.
Outside, Tumber House is set up for outdoor entertaining. There are several dining areas, a hot tub and the south-facing sun deck, which was added 5 years ago. The tennis court is discretely hidden from view, sheltered by mature hedging. Beautifully planted flower beds flank the expanse of lawn that stretches out towards the view. The pasture is separated from the gardens by a ha-ha, which affords an uninterrupted view. There is a wildflower meadow with mown paths, an orchard of fruit trees and a Victorian-style green house.
Tumber House enjoys a private, elevated position on the edge of the small village of Headley in Surrey. Headley Heath, owned by the National Trust, is a Designated Site of Special Scientific Interest and a haven for wildlife, comprising; open heath, downland and woodland. Across the Heath a network of trails affords superb walking, riding and cycling opportunities. Local amenities in the village cater for everyday needs and the larger towns of Epsom, Dorking and Leatherhead provide more extensive shopping. The area has excellent road links from the M25 and the A3. Train services to London Waterloo and Victoria run from the stations at Leatherhead, Epsom and Dorking with journey times from 36 mins. Schools in the area include; Epsom College, St Johns school, City of London Freeman's, ACS Cobham, Danes Hill School and Downsend School. For golfers there are numerous local clubs; Beaverbrook, RAC at Epsom, Walton Heath, Sunningdale and St Georges Hill. There is racing at Sandown and Epsom (home of the Derby) and polo at Epsom Polo Club and Knepp Castle.
