In this £4,000,000 Victorian house on the edge of the Surrey Hills, the perfect summer’s day will welcome you again and again—thanks to a heated pool, tennis court, five-acre garden and plenty of space for friends and family to stay.
8.00am: Wake in a super king-size bed crowned with a hand-printed Irish linen headboard, flanked by handwoven rattan chests.
8.10am: Freshen up at the marble-and-dark-wood vanity in this elegant en suite, as another summer’s day beckons through heritage sash windows.
8.30am: Enjoy a peaceful ride on the state-of-the-art exercise bike, crafted from oak and steel, while wall-mounted antique racquets nod to the house’s heritage.
9am: Be the first to dive into the heated pool for a few bracing lengths, then dry off on a wicker lounger in the sun, surrounded by olive and cypress trees.
9.30am: Enjoy breakfast on oak and rattan bar stools in the light-filled kitchen, beside a glossy black AGA with a veined marble splash-back.
12pm: Welcome friends and family from the picture-perfect porch, set with heritage hung tiles and original Victorian brickwork.
12.05pm: Show guests to their rooms, where a peach mohair velvet headboard and tie-top candy-stripe twin beds invite luxurious lie-ins.
1pm: Gather on the lawn for a picnic. Children run barefoot while adults relax in the privacy of a five-acre garden, screened by mature trees.
3.20pm: Time for tennis. Enjoy friendly rallies in the afternoon sun, or strawberries and cream in a director’s chair (someone has to keep the score, after all).
5pm: Enjoy a serene soak in this eggshell bath, nestled into the corner of the en suite, with an antique wooden stool for soap and flannels.
7pm: Choose glassware from an oak burl and Calcutta marble bar cart in this opulent dining room, set for memorable meals.
7.25pm: Gather loved ones beneath the loggia’s shade, where a rustic wooden table holds a leisurely feast.
10pm: With the children fast asleep in their beds, lie back on the lawn and watch the day fade as stars begin to fill the clear night sky.
