About this property
Tower Court was designed by ADAM Architecture, one of the foremost classical architectural practices in the UK.
It is constructed from limestone quarried in Burgundy, with the architectural detailing executed in solid stone, including the pediments, entablatures and Corinthian capitals. At both the front and rear elevations, pairs of river god figures are carved directly from the same limestone, forming an integral part of the building's design. The river gods are depicted reclining in the traditional pose with each figure bearing attributes denoting its identity: the Rhine and Indus, and the Hudson and Clyde. Designed to complement the building's restrained Baroque architecture, they reflect the exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail evident throughout the property.

Additional Buildings
Tower Hill - About 5,834 sq ft
A detached residence built in about 2005, situated within the estate grounds. Suitable for principal guest accommodation, staff quarters for senior household staff, or as a residence for family members requiring privacy and independence from the main house.
The Mews at Tower Court – About 6,546 sq ft
The structure is capable of refurbishment to provide additional staff or ancillary accommodation within its existing form. Planning permission has been secured to demolish the Mews and replace it with a new Dower House — a purpose-designed classical building in keeping with the architectural character of the property — should the purchaser wish to extend the quality of ancillary accommodation across the estate. This consent runs with the land and requires no further application to implement. The proposed plans are available upon request.
The Entrance Gate Lodge – About 730 sq ft
A two-bedroom property at the entrance to the estate, currently occupied by security staff.
The Grounds
The 46 freehold acres encompass formal gardens, including an exceptional collection of rhododendrons, an ornamental lake, open parkland and woodland walks, bounded by Swinley Forest.
