    About this property

    • The Story

      Sondes Place was designed and constructed by the renowned master builder Thomas Cubitt of Eaton Square fame in 1850, set in a commanding location overlooking the Surrey Hills but within easy striking distance of London.

      Award winning developers Twist sensitively converted the mansion into four remarkable properties accessed from the main entrance. Designed to appeal to the more discerning homeowner and for those who appreciate outstanding attention to detail and lavish build specification for which Twist is renowned. Architects took a sympathetic approach to the complete restoration of the original building and introduced contemporary touches to deliver bright, airy spaces with high ceilings and sense of grandeur. The restoration included recreating features such as traditional double-glazed sash windows, bespoke skirting, ceiling details and cornicing to principal rooms.

      Exquisitely designed Interiors feature hardwood parquet oak floors with underfloor heating, contemporary, high-quality Italian Kitchen units with integrated Miele and Siemens appliances and a unique sliding island top. Built-in Italian walnut-lined wardrobes in the bedrooms and high quality Italian white sanitaryware with Hansgrohe bathroom fittings complete the polished finish. Vaillant hot water system. Vent-Axia Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery system (MVHR). Double glazed sliding sash windows. Video door entry. Outside there is a natural York stone wrap around terrace with RHS designed stepped gardens.
