Pinewood House is a spectacular Grade II listed hilltop mansion for sale in the village of Oxshott, Surrey.
Arranged over four floors, the stunning nine bedroom, nine bathroom property is set in three acres of grounds and is the first mansion to be listed on emoov, the online fixed fee hybrid estate agent.
From the dramatic double height Great Hall on the ground floor with intricately carved wooden pillars and an impressive stone fireplace, to the 50ft ballroom with French windows, gold leaf hand-painted ceiling plasterwork and a rich patterned floor, this mansion has the word 'grand' written all over it.
The property is of great historic and architectural interest – it was originally built in 1880 for a wealthy city financier. During the First World War, the property was bought by a shipping magnate whose fleet of ships was instrumental in breaking German U-boat blockade. The house has a number of maritime features which pay tribute to the period of his ownership.
Over the last few years, the house has been restored to its original glory with some new additions – it has been extended to provide an indoor swimming pool with its own spa bath, bar area, gymnasium, treatment room, changing facilities, sauna and steam room.
Inside you'll find two kitchens – a family kitchen and a commercial one – the latter of which is perfect for entertaining on a grand scale. A heated dumb waiter, cold room and pantry are all included.
Some highlights of the property include an Art Deco style cinema room with triple screen, seating and bar area, a playroom, library, an observatory tower with 360˚ views over the Crown Estate, and underground garaging for up to 20 cars.
And while there’s a self-contained staff flat within the house, there's also an excellent four-bedroom detached guest cottage.
But our absolute favourite bit? The gardens. As a unique feature of the house, the gardens take inspiration from their historic origins, and the variety of mature trees, water features and exotic planting creates a Mediterranean ambience unlike any in the area. The heart-shaped display is a show-stopper.
Take a 3D tour of Pinewood House here. The property is on the market for £14.5 million via emoov.
