Charles Hill Court: A Grand Estate in Surrey Hills Inspired by Marie-Antoinette's Petit Trianon
Nestled in the picturesque Surrey Hills, between Tilford and Elstead, lies Charles Hill Court - a stunning property that harks back to the opulence of the French court. Built in 1908 by Detmar Blow and Fernand Billerey for Elizabeth (Lily) Antrobus of the Coutts banking family, this grand estate has been meticulously refurbished and is now up for sale with a guide price of £10 million, as announced by Knight Frank.
The property, which stands on more than 17 acres of gardens and grounds, was designed with a nod to Marie-Antoinette's Petit Trianon at Versailles in France. The main house, complete with new bathrooms, rewiring, a new security system, replaced boilers, and a remodeled kitchen, offers more than 7,600sq ft of living space, including seven reception rooms, six bedrooms, and five bathrooms.
The immaculate gardens and grounds have also been upgraded, providing a tranquil oasis for its residents. The walled garden, home to a tennis court, is a particular highlight, while the property's centrepiece - a 20-meter swimming pool - boasts a pool house that mirrors the design of the main house.
Additional accommodation is available in the recently refurbished, three-bedroom gate lodge.
Charles Hill Court is not the only significant property in Surrey. Munstead Wood, another estate in the area, was built by Edwin Lutyens for Gertrude Jekyll. While details about its current status and price are not available, it is worth noting that Strutt and Parker played a role in its creation.

However, this article showcases six of the most extraordinary sculpture parks to visit around Britain, penned by Penny Churchill. Regrettably, the article does not mention any specific sculpture parks from the list of six extraordinary parks.
Charles Hill Court was purchased by its current owner within weeks when Knight Frank last sold it in 2014. Despite the property's sale, its charm and grandeur continue to draw the attention of those seeking a slice of opulence in the heart of Surrey Hills.
