Highwood Lodge is an exceptional period manor house, offering palatial accommodation and 15 acres of grounds, including stabling and parkland, just nine miles from central London. The house showcases striking period styling and a wealth of original features across more than 8,000 sq ft, while outbuildings include two cottages and a staff flat, together with an indoor swimming pool and tennis court, all set within immaculate grounds.

The ground floor offers five reception rooms, including a magnificent formal drawing room with high ceilings, ornate cornicing, and a grand fireplace. There is also a formal dining room with similarly impressive features, a dual-aspect study with an intricately decorated fireplace, a comfortable sitting room, and a sunny conservatory. The kitchen and breakfast room is well appointed with bespoke wooden cabinetry, integrated appliances and space for informal dining.

Stairs lead down from the entrance hall to the lower ground floor which provides a variety of useful spaces and rooms. There is a secondary “summer” kitchen and reception room that leads on to the garden. Also overlooking the garden is a large office. Adjacent to this are several useful store rooms and the wine cellar. There is also a large utility room with stairs that lead to the kitchen. Adjoining the house is a useful one bedroom flat that has its own separate access; it is formed of a kitchen, reception room, bedroom, bathroom and utility room.

There are six beautifully presented double bedrooms across the first and second floors, three of which benefit from en suite facilities, including the luxurious principal suite with dressing room and en suite bathroom featuring a bathtub and separate shower. Two further family bathrooms complete the accommodation.

Please note, the majority of the furniture and artwork have been removed from the house. The photos were taken when the property was furnished.

This property has 15 acres of land.
