Welcome to the Spring edition of Prestige Homes Magazine As the days grow longer and the warmer weather of Spring begins to settle in, this season marks an ideal time for considering a move.

The arrival of lighter evenings, thanks to the clock change, encourages a renewed sense of optimism, while the more temperate weather makes property viewings a pleasure.

Spring also represents a fresh start, offering the perfect opportunity to explore new homes and embrace a change of scenery, whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or looking to relocate to a more desirable area.

Despite the economic challenges seen at the end of last year, the high-end property market in Surrey has remained remarkably resilient. Even with rising interest rates, this market segment has largely been insulated from broader economic pressures, thanks to the continued demand from cash-rich “London leavers.” These buyers are seeking more space, greater privacy, and an improved lifestyle, contributing to strong prices and a highly active market. As demand continues to outstrip supply, the luxury property market in Surrey remains one of the most sought-after in the country.

Looking ahead into 2025, Seymours Prestige Homes are excited to bring a fresh selection of premium properties to market and celebrate a few recent successful sales. Many of these homes are featured exclusively in this publication before they are listed online, providing potential buyers with early access to some of the finest homes in the region. With our unmatched combination of local expertise, national coverage, and international exposure, we are committed to ensuring that each property is meticulously presented to its fullest potential.

We hope that this Spring edition of our magazine offers you valuable insights into the luxury property market in Surrey.

Whether you’re actively seeking a new home or simply exploring the possibilities, we trust that you will find this publication an enjoyable and informative read. As always, our team is here to assist you in navigating the prestigious property landscape with confidence and ease.

Littlewick Road - Knaphill Whitfield Court estate comprises a grade 2* listed main house with huge master bedroom with en-suite and dressing area, four main bedrooms, one en-suite and a master bathroom.

GUIDE PRICE £3,750,000

Nestled within the picturesque and historically rich Lower Knaphill Conservation Area, this exceptional property offers a unique blend of heritage charm, modern living, and extensive grounds. With a total plot size of approximately 5.5 to 6 acres and an impressive internal living space of around 12,000 square feet, this estate is a rare and remarkable find in Surrey’s Green Belt.

The main house is a stunning period property that has evolved over centuries, featuring a combination of original architectural elements and carefully considered modern enhancements. The house offers a wealth of accommodation, including a spacious attic space that provides additional sleeping quarters and valuable storage options. The ground floor comprises four versatile reception rooms, a dedicated utility room, a well-appointed pantry, and an open-plan kitchen and dining area that serves as the heart of the home, designed for both everyday living and grand entertaining.

Beyond the main residence, the estate includes an extensive range of equestrian and outbuilding facilities, making it an ideal setting for a variety of uses. There are seven well-maintained stables, garaging for up

to six vehicles, and several outbuildings, including a Grade II-listed barn that currently serves as secure car storage for an additional eight vehicles. The barn, a remarkable heritage asset, has been preserved with care and is a testament to the estate’s deep historical roots. Further outbuildings include a grain shed, which has been adapted for use as an office space complete with electrics, and a converted carriage house that now serves as a charming two-bedroom, two-bathroom annexe known as Whitfield Court Cottage, perfect for extended family, guests, or staff accommodation.

The grounds of the estate are equally impressive and meticulously maintained, offering a variety of landscaped and natural spaces. Sweeping driveways provide an elegant approach to the property, while a beautifully enclosed walled garden offers privacy and seclusion, complete with a tennis court for recreation. A large area of woodland surrounds the estate, providing a haven for wildlife and a peaceful retreat for nature lovers. Additional features include a hard-standing yard, an orchard area, and an expanse of open green space, creating a picturesque and versatile outdoor environment.

The estate is steeped in history, with origins dating back to the late 16th century. Originally known as Knights Farm, the property was renamed Whitfield Farm in the 1850s by its then-owner, Joseph Whitfield, before later becoming Whitfield Court.

Over the centuries, the house has undergone various extensions and modifications. An 18th-century wing was added, followed by a further extension in the 19th century, shaping the layout that exists today. In the 1960s, a kitchen extension was introduced, which has since been replaced with a more sympathetic slopingroof addition that complements the historic aesthetic of the house.

In terms of ownership, the estate was purchased in 1977 by Keith and Jenny Sohl from the Waterers, a local family with historical ties to the area. In 2022, their son James and his wife Julia took over ownership and embarked on an extensive and meticulous renovation project, ensuring that no detail was overlooked. The result is a beautifully restored period home that seamlessly integrates 500 years of history with 21st-century luxury. The renovation, which involved an investment of approximately £2 million, was carried out with the utmost care and respect for the property’s heritage.

All works have been completed to a very high standard with full planning and heritage consent with a vision to protect the heritage, remove any materials which could harm the building and enhance the character of the property.

Works included vital structural repairs to the original oak frame, comprehensive wood treatment, restoration of brickwork and pointing, and the complete replacement of guttering, electrical systems, heating, sewage, and drainage infrastructure. Additionally, new water, gas, and electrical lines were installed to future-proof the house for modern living. Interior renovations saw the transformation of the kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, walls, and historic panelling, ensuring that the home retains its period character while offering the highest standards of comfort and convenience.

LET THE MUSIC PLAY Surrey Hills International Music Festival is one of the most prestigious events in the country, shining a light not only on some magnificent music but also the beauty of the local area.

The Surrey Hills International Music Festival (SHIMF) is one of the highlights in the county’s cultural calendar.

This year marks 16 years of the event which brings world-class musicians to perform in beautiful venues across the Surrey Hills.

Since its inception, the festival has attracted artists and orchestras of the very highest calibre, from patrons, violinist Nicola Benedetti and singer Dame Sarah Connolly, to saxophonist Jess Gillam, and jazz legend Clare Teal.

Its appeal rests not only on the talent of the visiting and local musicians but also in its choice of venues and its determination, through the added benefit of guided walks before a selection of lunchtime concerts, to showcase the beauty of the Surrey Hills.

The Londinium Consort

Julia Pearson, who has been a vital part of the organising committee for several years and chair of the festival since 2022, says honouring the event’s location is key. Indeed, the opening performance by Londonium Consort will be preceded by a walk around the ancient woodland and copse of the festival’s West Horsley Place venue, as well as a discussion on the topics of music, exile and pilgrimage, led by broadcaster Katy Hamilton.

Julia says the eclectic programme is meticulously planned by the committee and pianist Wu Qian who co-founded the festival with local musician and entrepreneur Tessa Marchington in 2010.

“Qian has stayed on as artistic director and it is her brilliance that has managed to combine really exciting programming with really exciting performers,” says Julia. “We are very reliant on Qian’s capacity to know the music and understand what blends well.”

Julia says it is important that the programme features a mix of pieces enabling first-time visitors to feel comfortable while at the same time offering music or events audiences may not have previously heard about.

“The walks which we introduced relatively recently are an example of this,” Julia explains. “For example this year we have one surrounding the beautiful countryside of St Michael’s Church in Betchworth. The walkers will then return to the church in their boots, feeling very well exercised and hear a performance by students from the Menuhin School. It should be really special.”

Festival organisers are also very keen to extend the offer beyond Guildford and Dorking and to be more multi-generational in its approach.

“We want to appeal to all people. We want families to come along and we are working towards projects that will really reach out across the Surrey Hills to stage events for children and families in various outdoor settings and we have some exciting plans for that.”

This year, as with other years, audiences will be promised a vivid mix of styles, from a wide range of musical eras. There are soloists, trios and a finale that promises to be simply spectacular.

“The reason to come is we are offering the world’s greatest musicians - and that is not an over-exaggeration - the musicians we have come from all over Europe and New York. We can also guarantee that audiences will be hearing world class musicians in intimate Surrey venues that are virtually on their back doorstep,” says Julia.

FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS Grammy-nominated vocal ensemble VOCES8 is celebrating their 20th anniversary and performing a special concert at Guildford’s Holy Trinity Church as part of their 20th anniversary world tour.

Musicians from the internationally acclaimed Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, New York performing with the outstanding Sitkovetsky Trio at the Menuhin Hall, Cobham and also in the Festival Finale at St Martin’s Church, Dorking.

Virtuoso pianist Alim Beisembayev - winner of the 2021 Leeds International Piano Competition, one of the world’s foremost music competitions – is giving his first concert at the Menuhin Hall.

Continuing its commitment to support young and emerging artists, this year sees the return of the Festival’s Lunchtime Young Artist Concerts, featuring the award-winning Londinium Consort at West Horsley Place, and students from Surrey’s world-renowned Yehudi Menuhin School at St Michael’s Church in Betchworth.

Plus guided walks through the Surrey Hills National Landscape with musical interludes and a number of expert talks about this year’s programme.

“We are offering people a chance to hear all this without slogging up to London or flying to Berlin or Amsterdam to hear these people. You can enjoy exquisitely performed live music in beautiful settings and the audience experience is like joining a family. It is warm, comfortable and incredibly friendly. We have a loyal audience that really is welcoming to newcomers.”

“We don’t just want aficionados to buy our tickets we want people to come and give it go and not to feel intimidated. We want those people who stopped playing violin before Grade I - just come and hang out and let this marvellous music roll over them because it is absolutely sensational.”

On the ground floor a succession of interconnecting reception rooms, a study and orangery produce a defined yet hugely free-flowing feel. Sitting in the heart of the layout natural light tumbles delicately into a beautiful triple aspect drawing room with an expanse of ceiling beams and the homely focal point of a classic wood burner within its raised fireplace. Tastefully chosen bookcases stretch up and over lime waxed double doors to the dining room where timber framed bi-fold doors connect with blissfully secluded terracing. This inviting space combines with an adjoining kitchen generating an open plan design equally suited for everyday life or evenings spent hosting friends and family. A stone tiled floor extends seamlessly across both rooms, and whilst the dining room benefits from underfloor heating the kitchen is supremely well appointed with handmade Shaker cabinetry and integrated Neff appliances. A Rangemaster cooker sits beneath a mantel extractor, and a central island with bar stool seating gives both delineation and unity to the space. Topped and tailed with doors to the garden, a matching utility room is on hand to keep laundry appliances hidden out of sight, with a separate area for dogs to have access to the garden.

The timber detailing continues in an enviable double aspect study and sitting room that sit to either side of the drawing room. French doors in the study give every excuse to take a break and step out into the gardens, while the sitting room opens into a magnificent orangery that is at once both contemporary and sympathetic to the original bones of the house. A peaceful retreat with a voluminous ceiling and wrap-around glazing, its twin sets of French doors permit the gardens to become an easy flowing extension of the notable dimensions and underfloor heating adds a welcome finishing touch during the cooler months of the year.

With a palette of soft heritage hues, each one provides an ideal measure of flexible family accommodation.

Opening onto a balcony that gives the perfect spot to admire your surroundings, a graceful principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en-suite with an inset bath and walk-in shower. Guests will love a double aspect second double bedroom with a contemporary en-suite shower room, and the additional two rooms share a sleek and stylish family bathroom.

Encapsulating all the quintessential traits of an English rural idyll, The Milling House sits within circa 2.5 acres of beautiful gardens and pastoral grounds that produce a coveted degree of privacy and tranquillity.

PAST MASTER Prestige Homes catches up with Sunbury Antiques Market expert Edward Cruttenden to find out more about the fair where stars including Harry Styles, Paloma Faith and Bill Nighy choose to shop.

Sunbury Antiques Market Founded more than 45 years ago by Sue Cruttenden, Sunbury Antiques Market has grown into one of the largest and longest running markets in the UK. Based primarily at Kempton Park in Sunbury, treasure hunters can now enjoy sales at Sandown Racecourse in Esher, Wimbledon and at Denbies Vineyard in Dorking, which is a new venue for 2025.

Today Sunbury Antiques Market is run by Sue’s son Edward and his wife Jennie. Edward says the business has been such a big part of his life it almost feels like it is in his DNA. “My mother was the brains behind it,” says Edward. “She gave up her full-time job when my brother and I came into this world but like a lot of mums, she still needed a job and one that could work around us. Some of her friends were in the antiques trade and suggested she went to a couple of fairs. So my grandmother lent her some money and off she went.”

While Sue’s early forays into the trade didn’t quite go to plan - losing cash on a fake clock and losing another haul when the bottom of the box she was carrying her goods in gave way and everything smashed on the ground - she remained committed to her new career deciding instead to run the sales, rather than visit them.

Sue approached Kempton Park Racecourse and the family have been running fairs there since 1979.

“My brother and I were involved from the beginning. It was all the talk at the dinner table, in the car, we went along in holidays - it is sort of in my DNA,” Edward laughs. “I did go to college and had other jobs but then around 20 years ago, mum decided she wanted to slow down a bit and I knew I wanted to work alongside her.”

Sadly, Sue passed away in 2013, leaving Edward and his wife Jennie to manage what by now was an established family business.

“We then took on Sandown Park, seven years ago and another at Raynes Park near Wimbledon five years ago.”

Prepare to be moved | 39

“Me and Jen do everything - planning, marketing, booking everyone in - everything.”

Kempton Park takes place on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month. There are around 600 traders who regularly attend with stalls both inside and outside selling everything from jewellery and ceramics to candlesticks and bicycles. If it is old, it can be sold.

As well as the many dealers and antiques hunters, the sales have become a magnet for interior stylists, set designers and even the occasional celebrity.

“We get a lot of prop buyers at Kempton,” says Edward. “Where we are is not far from Shepperton Studios, which is now home to Netflix, that’s great for us and more importantly great for the traders.”

“Times can be hard for sellers - battling the economy and the weather - so when someone from a production company comes to the fair their budgets are hefty. If a dealer has a table offering a certain theme or period and that is what the designer is looking for, then it has been known for them to take the whole lot.”

The fairs are now recognised as something of a global brand with visitors arriving from the Far East and the US. “People come from everywhere and the response is always really positive. Actually one of the best things about the fairs is the people. The dealers come from across the UK, and France - so there is a great mix of pieces.“ “Buyers often don’t know what they are looking for until they see it and most definitely go away with something. It is not a fine-art fair but it is definitely not a car boot. These are genuine antiques but they can be anything from a few pounds to a few thousand.”

So what should we be looking for?

“Mid-20th-century furniture - G-Plan pieces have been doing a really good trade,” reveals Edward. “But I think we may have seen the peak on that. Before that we had heavy industrial type pieces which are still popular and before that it was shabby chic, and French farmhouse. Something will always appeal to someone.”

The antiques trade has always been popular, but thanks to TV programmes such as Antiques Roadshow, Cash in the Attic and Bargain Hunt, the trend for authentic and original pieces seems to know no bounds.

“We had Bargain Hunt at Sandown,” Edward reveals. “We get approached a lot, but Kempton is such a big fair and we do attract a lot of very private individuals and some well-known faces too including Richard E Grant, Harry Styles, Gary Lineker and Paloma Faith and Bill Nighy so we don’t really want cameras there all the time.”

“We want all our guests to be able to relax and wander around and enjoy the fair. We are proud of what we do and we do it together.

All the traders, all the visitors - they make the fair and they are the ones that make it successful.”

FROM FARM TO FORK Surrey is renowned for its food and drink offer - so where better to sample some of the finest local produce than at one of the area’s bustling farmers markets.

6 | www.seymours-estates.co.uk/prestige

The very first farmers market took place in Bath in 1997. Launched

by Bath & North-East Somerset Council, it was an attempt to promote locally sourced produce and to support those who grew and farmed the food. It was based on a model that had become increasingly popular in the USA and after the market was featured on BBC favourite Countryfile, similar events began to spring up across England.

Today, there are currently more than 2,500 farmers markets in the UK, with at least 20 regularly taking place in Surrey: from Camberley to Cobham, Walton-on-Thames to Woking.

Sally Erhardt, who founded the award-winning Ripley Farmers Market - which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, alongside Val Harris - says it was a lack of access to fresh produce for the residents of Ripley that spurred her and Val into creating what is now one of the county’s most celebrated culinary centres.

Ripley Farmers Market “I was disappointed to be unable to buy any local food when we moved to Ripley in 1996, there was very limited choice in the village and a disproportionate elderly population, many without transport,” Sally says.

“Eventually we managed to start the Farmers Market on the village green in June 2005. We had a committee of eight and we all brought different skills. Three of us are still here. From the beginning we focused on a good mix of great local food, raising money for local good causes, and looking after our stallholders. The village comes alive on market day.”

According to Sally the objectives were threefold: to provide somewhere for local people to buy quality produce in a convenient and friendly way; to provide an outlet for small local producers of a wide range of food and related produce, and to use any surplus for local charitable purposes.

The market attracts hundreds of people each month, but the number of regulars is a testimony to its popularity. This is a result of a combination of factors, according to Sally.

“We are, we believe, still the only market in Surrey on grass, which gives it a more rural and outdoor feel,” she says.

The market takes place on a Saturday morning and appeals directly to families - dogs are also welcome.

“We try to make sure there is a wide range of quality producers to give as big a range of choice as we can. We currently have between 35 and 50 paying stalls at each market. The emphasis is on variety, rather than having lots of stalls competing selling similar products.”

Alongside this are events such as Ripley Bake Off - complete with celebrity judges and also two Grape and Grain Festivals featuring Surrey’s famous wine, gin and beer producers. There are also regular cookery demonstrations not to mention dog shows and an annual appearance by the Guildford Barbers Shop singers who perform for shoppers.

“It has become a social event. We have tables and chairs where people sit and eat and drink and chat,” Sally adds.

We specialise in gluten free - there are no additives or preservatives and we use as much local produce as we can.“ “You can buy such a great range of products - fish, eggs, meat, fruit and veg and you can actually meet the people who have produced that food.”

Instantly generating a noted level of cohesion, the rich sultry hues of its herringbone floor stretch out underfoot extending through double doors into a simply outstanding kitchen/sitting/dining room. Spacious, double aspect and offering a seamless interplay with the gardens, it is an incredibly special place for both day to day life and entertaining on a grand scale.

Versatile to your needs and giving children their own sense of space, double doors open from the sitting room to reveal an adjoining playroom that enables

toys and games to be hidden out of sight.

Supremely well-appointed to offer every convenience, the considerably large kitchen is fully fitted with the sleek clean lines of handleless cabinetry housing a bank of four integrated ovens. The black glass double doors of a fridge freezer blend beautifully with the surrounding dark blue cabinets, while an expansive central island with copious bar stool seating and induction hob is encased with the streamlined finish of a waterfall countertop. Pendant and kickboard lighting illuminate this sociable space at night and a trio of utility, pantry and boot room are set off of this, with fitted top of the range wine fridges.

An admirably proportioned study echoes the aesthetic giving a peaceful retreat for working from home and plenty of chance to have a music room or gym if preferred.

However when it comes to escaping from a busy day and enjoying a family film night, the weekend’s sport or simply kicking back with a good book and a glass of wine, the addition of a separate double aspect reception room produces a sublime space in which to do so. Framed by a duo of modern sash windows, the warming flames of a brilliantly broad glass fronted bio ethanol fireplace lend a cosy yet contemporary focal point beneath the perfect spot for a large wall-mounted Smart TV. A cloakroom completes the layout of the ground floor.

Generating a hugely cohesive home, upstairs the palette of warm muted tones is once again peppered with matte black detailing and paired with the greenery of garden vistas. Wrapping around the galleried landing of the first floor, three light filled double bedrooms each have deluxe ensuites. Extending out across the full depth of the property, an immense principal bedroom creates its own wing of the house. Graceful yet ultimately luxurious it has an integrated speaker system, a wonderfully large immaculately fitted dressing room, and a vast en-suite where a contemporary freestanding bathtub adds a superb centrepiece.

A floating console of twin basins framed by a duo of ladder radiators lends symmetry, a walk-in shower has a ceiling mounted waterfall head, and a WC sits discreetly hidden behind a door.

Demonstrating an understanding of light and space, this is a supremely calming and restful room that’s overarched by the industrial grey of a central lighting strip that flows down the opposing wall to subtly accommodate a recessed TV/media unit. Wide sliding doors entice you out onto the terracing effortlessly engendering an easy flowing extension of this hugely sociable space, while the commendable dimensions lead into a spectacular kitchen/dining room that is quite simply breathtaking. Magnificently composed to allow the natural beauty of the garden to add a blissful backdrop, the exceptional kitchen/dining room offers a master class in interior and architectural design.

They make it irresistibly easy to step outside and relax in the summer sun. Perfectly illuminated by a high roof lantern the superior kitchen is appointed with a full height wall of handle-less cabinets housing an exceptional array of integrated appliances. However it is perhaps the sweeping curve of the extensive island that captures and holds your attention. Deftly delineating the room, the driftwood facade of this fantastic centrepiece adds texture to the sleekness of the cabinetry while the considered upstands carefully conceal cooking implements from view. The rich tones of a feature timber wall contrast and complement those of the sitting room, while glass double doors open into an enviable first class wine room that is fully fitted to both display and accommodate your collection - a stunning yet sophisticated addition to an exemplary space that has ample capacity for both a formal dining area and additional breakfast/coffee table. A further larder and utility area are discreetly positioned behind the kitchen out of sight.

Compellingly stylish yet continuing the graceful minimalist aesthetic that echoes throughout, it is a captivating place to spend together either as a family or when entertaining friends.

Across the hallway a large games room with a roof lantern of its own is ideally sized for a pool table, while a study is a peaceful retreat when working from home. Ideal for guests or multigenerational households, two ground floor bedrooms each have deluxe en-suites, and a notable cloakroom is arranged in a tumbled stone tile setting.

Follow the open treads of an oak and steel staircase upstairs and you’ll find two impeccable double bedroom suites continuing the commendable design themes of this Worplesdon home.
