Yahoo Finance This 16th-century property lies within 63 acres of rolling Surrey countryside
THE PROPERTY: Dating back to the 16th century, Warren Mere showcases an impressive portfolio of illustrious designers and creators. The Grade-II listed property was remodelled in 1897 by renowned British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, while the gardens are believed to have been created by acclaimed horticulturalist Gertrude Jekyll, and in 2002, the interiors were redesigned by Enrica Stabile, founder of L’Utile e il Dilettevole in Milan.
THE LOCATION: Situated in Thursley, a small historic village in southwest Surrey, the property is just nine miles from the vibrant county town of Guildford, with excellent connections, including a high-speed railway service to London Waterloo. There are a number of golf courses located within the area, along with horse-racing nearby at Ascot, Sandown and Goodwood, while country pursuits can be enjoyed in the surrounding Surrey Hills.
THE INTERIOR: Offering nine bedrooms and seven reception-rooms, the bright and airy property provides plenty of space for pleasure and entertaining. White-washed beams fuse with soft blue pastels and light wooden floors, while antiquated fire-places and a cast-iron cooker in the kitchen establish an old-world ambience.
WHY WE LOVE IT: Surrounded by idyllic countryside, woodland and lakes, Warren Mere’s gardens and grounds extend to 63 acres. When the sun shines, alfresco dining can be enjoyed out on the large terrace (which stretches the full length of the house), while the tennis court and indoor swimming-pool facilitate fun and games. There is also a substantial three-bedroom cottage and a number of additional outbuildings previously employed as stables or store rooms.
