Lower Bourne, Lower Bourne, Surrey, GU10

Occupying an elevated position surrounded by woodland, this substantial country house extends to over 13,000 sq ft and has been comprehensively refurbished to create a house that is as well suited to large-scale entertaining as it is to family life. Set within approximately 16.94 acres, it offers a rare combination of privacy, scale and beautifully considered interiors, alongside an impressive indoor leisure complex.

Believed to date from the Edwardian era, the house has been carefully extended and reworked by the current owners. The layout flows beautifully, with the principal reception rooms arranged along the southern elevation and opening directly onto a wide stone terrace, creating an easy connection between the house and its surrounding grounds.

A striking entrance hall sets the tone, leading through to six reception rooms, each distinct in character and proportion. The drawing room and orangery are particularly elegant, while the open-plan kitchen is arranged for both everyday use and entertaining. Natural stone, marble and high-quality fittings feature throughout, lending a sense of cohesion and finish to the interiors.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged across two upper floors. The principal suite occupies a prime position on the first floor, with an ensuite bathroom, two dressing rooms and a private balcony. Three further bedroom suites are arranged from the landing, while the top floor provides two additional suites and a playroom.

A separate wing incorporates a study, artist’s studio, kitchen and office, lending itself well to use as a self-contained annexe or housekeeper’s accommodation. A link leads through to the indoor leisure complex, where a swimming pool and gym provide a dedicated space for wellbeing and recreation.

Modern comforts include air conditioning to the principal bedrooms and underfloor heating beneath much of the tiled flooring. Planning consent is in place for an outdoor swimming pool, a substantial garden pavilion and a loggia extending from the kitchen terrace.

The grounds are a defining feature, combining woodland and open areas to create a setting that feels both private and expansive. A tennis court adds to the estate’s recreational appeal, making this a house equally suited to weekend entertaining and day-to-day family life.

Lower Bourne lies approximately 1.5 miles away, with local shops and amenities for everyday needs, while Farnham offers a wider selection of restaurants, cafés and independent shops. The area is well served by both state and private schools, and communications are excellent, with Farnham station providing regular services to London Waterloo in around 50 minutes.
