The changing face of St George’s Hill

Property article last modified: 28/04/2008

Despite its reputation for prestige properties, many of the original houses of St George’s Hill are now being redeveloped to meet the demands of modern living. As UK property search agents responsible for the acquisition of million pound houses on behalf of private clients, Elite Property Search are well placed to have noticed the changing designs and size of the millionaire homes on St George’s Hill.

St George’s Hill is renowned as an enclave for the rich and famous.
The traditional houses built on St Georges Hill are referred to as Tarrant houses named after the visionary Walter George Tarrant. Tarrant a local builder built the original gated community to provide homes for the wealthy London gentry and started the project in 1911. All the Tarrant houses are south facing and have fantastic views. They are built around one of the UK’s leading golf courses, which consists of 3 loops of nine holes, designed in 1912 by Harry Colt one of the leading golf architects of all time.

Unfortunately, as these houses approach 100 years old they are not meeting the modern day lifestyle requirements of the rich and famous. Consequently many are being purchased by developers to be replaced with larger even more luxurious houses designed with modern lifestyle requirements in mind. The new houses have to meet the requirements of very demanding customers and need to offer facilities such as home entertainment centres, wine cellars, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and spa facilities.

With this new approach, interest has been renewed in St George’s Hill in recent years. Buyers increasingly appreciate the quality of life that this wooded estate offers all within 25 miles of Central London. In addition the estate is only 3 miles to junction 11 of the M25, giving it easy access to all parts of the UK.

Some recent sales in St George’s Hill are Hartlands:- sold  for £10 million pounds  and Waverley:- sold in excess of £13.5 million pounds. Another property Aurora is available at £9.6 million pounds. As with many of the new developments on St George’s Hill, Aurora is not lacking in latest features. It includes a master bedroom with his and hers wet rooms, 4 additional bedroom suites and lift access to all floors. The outstanding feature of Aurora is its leisure floor, including a cinema, indoor swimming pool, spa facilities a red wine store and separate white wine store.
