A letter from the Head of Curchods Prime

As Head of Curchods Prime, I have the privilege of experiencing some of the most extraordinary homes across Surrey and south west London spanning outwards to the South Downs and beyond. These homes not only offer stunning architecture and enviable locations but also reflect the passion, creativity and vision of their owners. In this issue, we’re excited to share a curated selection of the latest prime properties available For Sale and To Let across the Curchods network, each with its own unique story and appeal.
The prime property market in Surrey and south west London continues to show remarkable strength and resilience. Demand for homes offering space, quality and lifestyle-enhancing features remains high. Discerning buyers are seeking not just a property, but a sanctuary - whether that’s a period home in the Surrey Hills or a contemporary masterpiece along the Thames. As always, location, craftsmanship and individuality are key, and the market shows no signs of slowing as we move into the summer months.
But Prime Magazine is about more than exceptional homes; it’s about the lifestyle that comes with them. This summer edition is brimming with inspiration, whether you’re looking to refresh your interiors or elevate your outdoor living. We take you inside the latest trends for luxury home gyms, with equipment that’s as aesthetically pleasing as it is athletically fulfilling. We also explore the rise of the alfresco kitchen, a trend that’s transforming how we entertain at home. We discuss professional home organising with Organise-D, while our feature on the contemporary showstopper Deerswood in Woking, highlights the art of a prime renovation done to perfection.
This issue of Prime magazine is also packed with interior insights from our friends at Alexander James Interiors and The Art Agency in Cobham. Alexander James Interiors bring their signature touch with seasonal interior tips, while The Art Agency offer their insight into why you should ‘start with art’ when considering your interior design.
Whether you’re searching for your next home or simply looking for ideas to enhance the one you love, I hope this issue offers something to spark your imagination.

When athletics aesthetics meets
Inthe world of prime property, wellness has become the ultimate status symbol. Wine cellars and home cinemas still hold their appeal, but fitness facilities such as swimming pools, tennis courts and, in particular, home gyms are seemingly at the forefront of homeowners’ wish lists.
Today’s high-net-worth homeowners are seeking out fitness spaces that are as elegant and intentional as the rest of the home. Home gym equipment has long had a clunky, commercial feel, prioritising function over form. However, its utilitarian design often clashes with the refined interiors of luxury homes. Homeowners are seeking spaces and equipment that are as fashionable as they are functional. In recent years a few brands have emerged, bringing a sense of elegance to exercise equipment, combining form and function. At the heart of this evolution is NOHRD, a brand redefining the very concept of the home gym.
Home gym equipment reimagined.
Sculpted for Strength and Style
NOHRD, along with the innovative WaterRower, have revolutionised the way we think about fitness design. Originally launched in Rhode Island with the iconic WaterRower machine, the brand quickly became known for its holistic approach to wellbeing. Built from solid wood sourced from the sustainably managed Appalachian forests, each WaterRower is as much a testament to environmental responsibility as it is to performance engineering. Its signature WaterFlywheel mimics the
resistance of real water, offering a smooth, meditative workout that’s both effective and immersive. But it’s NOHRD’s German-made range that has cemented its status in the luxury property market. From the curved Sprintbok treadmill to the space-saving TriaTrainer workout bench, each piece strikes a balance between elegance and athletic performance. The NOHRD Bike, for instance, is not only precisionengineered for professional-level performance, but its sleek silhouette and natural wood finish make it an interior design feature in its own right.
Where Wellness Becomes a Design Statement
In high-end homes from Surrey to the United States, NOHRD equipment is seamlessly integrated into wellness suites, living rooms and even bedrooms. The reason? These pieces defy the traditional gym aesthetic. Gone are the clunky plastic machines and industrial designs of the past. In their place are warm woods, curved lines and sculptural profiles that elevate any interior.
"With wellness central to so many of our lives, fitness equipment should be part of the home, complementing the design rather than disrupting it," says NOHRD CEO Dominik Kuprecht. This philosophy has struck a chord with homeowners and designers alike, who are increasingly drawn to multi-functional living and wellness spaces that reflect a more conscious lifestyle.
A Lifestyle Investment
As the wellness economy continues to grow, luxury buyers are prioritising homes that support a holistic way of living. It’s a trend that speaks to a deeper shift: one where health, sustainability and aesthetics are not just personal values, but core components of modern luxury living. For homeowners, whether exercise or interior design enthusiasts, NOHRD offers a compelling proposition: equipment that performs as beautifully as it looks, enhancing the overall aesthetic of a space. In a world where every detail matters, NOHRD proves that the home gym can be more than a space to sweat, it can be a sanctuary of style and substance.

A Taste of the Outdoors: The Rise of the
Luxury Alfresco Kitchen
With the sun lingering a little longer and summer in full swing, our appetite for the outdoors increases. The emphasis on outdoor living is highlighted by the sunnier days, yet, what was once a seasonal indulgence is now viewed as a year-round extension of the home. Post-pandemic shifts in how we live and entertain have elevated the status of outdoor spaces and in more recent years, the concept of outdoor living has undergone a transformation.
For the discerning homeowner, the garden has truly become an extension of the home, with interior indulgences replicated outdoors. Whether it’s downtime or dinner parties, fitness or a feast, the garden is playing host to these moments of quiet luxury. In-built is in vogue. The BBQ has become an outdoor kitchen and a sun lounger swapped for the permanent furniture of an outdoor entertaining space, equipped with integrated audio and weatherproof tv screens.
“There’s a consistent desire for a seamless transition from indoors to outdoors, where the garden feels like a true continuation of the home,” says award-winning Garden and Landscape Designer Will Williams. “More clients are now approaching us with the intention of using their outdoor spaces in the cooler winter months. We often include features such as heated covered seating areas, exterior kitchens with all the comforts that we would usually find inside, considered lighting plans, both for ambience and practicality along with elegant evergreen planting to ensure winter interest.”
At the heart of this alfresco evolution is the outdoor kitchen. Far beyond a simple grill setup, today’s outdoor kitchens are fully equipped culinary spaces, featuring premium appliances, integrated refrigeration, stone worktops and bespoke cabinetry designed to weather the seasons in style. These kitchens aren’t just about cooking - they’re about elevating the entire experience of entertaining, without ever having to step back indoors.
It’s a showpiece that tells a story of sophisticated entertaining and seamless living.

A well-appointed outdoor kitchen has become as coveted as a home cinema or spa bathroom. According to Andrew Grant, Prime Partner at Curchods Estate Agents, outdoor kitchens are now a serious investment consideration for highnet-worth buyers:
“We’re seeing a marked rise in buyers who see outdoor kitchens as not just a lifestyle feature but a value-add. A well-executed garden design can increase a property’s appeal significantly and contribute meaningfully to its asking price - especially in family homes with generous gardens.
Buyers are increasingly looking for turnkey homes that cater to modern lifestyles, that offer an experience and that includes sophisticated outdoor living. An outdoor kitchen is no longer an afterthought - it’s a showpiece that tells a story of sophisticated entertaining and seamless living.”
At the luxury end of the market, an outdoor kitchen starts at around £25,000, with fully integrated setups - complete with refrigeration, storage, sinks, pizza ovens and custom joinery - reaching well above £75,000. The latest innovations include smart lighting, hidden heating

systems, outdoor dishwashers, integrating wine coolers, teppanyaki grills and wood-fired ovens. Sleek layouts and covered structures such as pergolas are designed to complement the architecture of the home and ensure the space is suitable for year-round use. Many also incorporate marine-grade cabinetry, weatherproof materials and state-of-the-art appliances that withstand the British climate while delivering restaurant-level performance.

It’s no wonder the Egg is increasingly viewed as the jewel in the crown of many garden kitchens.
The Big Green Egg oozes indulgence.
One such appliance and a brand that’s leading the charge in this culinary evolution, is the Big Green Egg. The iconic ceramic grill is beloved by chefs and entertainers alike. Equal parts design statement and gastronomic powerhouse, it roasts, smokes, sears and bakes with extraordinary precision. It’s no wonder the Egg is increasingly viewed as the jewel in the crown of many garden kitchens.
As the garden becomes the new entertaining hub, the Big Green Egg stands proudly at its centre: timeless, tactile and endlessly capable. As sustainability, wellness and lifestyle integration continue to shape property development and
renovation, the luxury outdoor kitchen is poised to remain a key feature in highend homes. For homeowners and buyers alike, it represents a fusion of comfort, design and indulgence. An investment not just in property value, but in quality of life. So, whether you’re imagining a balmy summer dinner party under the stars or a brisk autumn brunch by the firepit, one thing is clear: the heart of the home may just be moving outdoors.

Start with Art
Elevating Interiors Through Curated Pieces
With so many decisions involved in styling a home, choosing artwork can feel like a final flourish, or, for some, a daunting blank canvas. Founded on the belief that art should be accessible, personal and seamlessly integrated into your lifestyle, The Art Agency in Cobham offers a bespoke gateway into the world of contemporary art collecting.
By gently challenging the idea that art should simply match your cushions or complement your colour scheme, the Surrey-based gallery is transforming the way homeowners discover and acquire original artworks. Clients are often encouraged to start with art. A single striking piece can inspire an entire room, setting the tone, mood and palette for everything that follows.
Founded by Emma Riley and Alison Ramsay, The Art Agency has become a trusted name in the art world, known for its carefully curated portfolio that balances classic and contemporary appeal. Their collection features leading landscape artists like Craig Mooney and Paul Treasure, as well as local artist Nadia Day, known for her impressionist depictions of Surrey and beyond.
With clients ranging from quietly brilliant collectors to those still learning the difference between a print and a piece with provenance, The Art Agency proves that buying art doesn’t have to be intimidating or impossibly expensive. While based in leafy Surrey, their vision isn’t limited by geography. Their mission is simple, to connect people with art they’ll love living with.
Looking ahead to 2025, this philosophy aligns beautifully with a key interior trend, a move away from impersonal minimalism and toward spaces full of meaning and character. Think layered textures, personal touches and statement artworks that spark conversation and connection. Art is no longer a decorative afterthought; it is the heart of the home.
Three landscape artists represented by The Art Agency exemplify this idea.
Craig Mooney
Currently residing in Vermont, Craig spent 25 years in England and draws deeply from that well of memory. His atmospheric scenes feel instantly familiar, people often say they recognise the view, but the remarkable thing is that Craig paints purely from memory. He captures not just a landscape, but the feeling of being there. His work is timeless, emotive and rich in a sense of place, ideal for anchoring both modern and classic interiors.
Paul Treasure
One of the gallery’s most soughtafter artists, Paul uses a palette knife to create bold, expressive landscapes alive with movement. Whether it is sunlight dancing on water or a storm rolling in over hills, Paul’s work transforms walls into windows to the natural world. “Clients are drawn to his texture and drama.” “A large Paul Treasure canvas can shape the entire design direction of a room.”
Nadia Day
Based locally, Nadia is known for her joyful, impressionist depictions of Surrey and beyond. Her loose brushwork and uplifting palette bring warmth and spontaneity into any space. Nadia also regularly works to commission, painting places that hold meaning for her clients, be it a favourite family walk, a holiday memory, or the view from a beloved home. It is an ideal way to make your interiors truly personal.
While trends may come and go, the right piece of art will always bring personality, joy and soul into your home. Whether you are drawn to the texture of a Paul Treasure, the lyrical calm of a Craig Mooney, or the energy of a Nadia Day, remember, it is not about matching your curtains.

Where Design Meets Legacy: 30 Years of
Sophistication, Sustainability and Style
Exceptional design is never merely decorative. It is emotive, intuitive and deeply personal. It manifests as quiet luxury, a curated balance between elegance and function, where every element is considered and every finish intentional. At its highest expression, interior design does more than furnish a property. It articulates the identity, aspirations and lifestyle of those who reside within it.
As our lifestyles evolve and global perspectives shift, so too does the definition of luxury. Today’s highnet-worth homeowners are seeking more than visual splendour; they desire sanctuary, meaning and longevity. In this refined landscape, interior design must honour heritage while embracing innovation. It must be both timeless and responsive.
This philosophy sits at the heart of Alexander James Interiors, a leading
British design house that this year celebrates an exceptional 30-year legacy. Known for crafting interiors of distinction for some of the UK’s most prestigious residences across Surrey and Elmbridge specifically, the firm has long been regarded for its discretion, creativity and bespoke approach. Each project is an exciting collaboration between the designer and client, shaped by trust, vision and shared aesthetic values.
From super-prime developments in London to country estates and second homes across the globe, Alexander James Interiors is synonymous with understated elegance and enduring quality. Their team of highly skilled designers works closely with clients from the earliest planning stages to final installation, offering a fully tailored and deeply personalised service.
We have seen a shift away from high-gloss furniture pieces.
Regardless of the brief, we bring clarity, structure and creativity to the process.
Stephanie Jones, Interior Design Director, reflects on what distinguishes the Alexander James approach: “Our process begins with a comprehensive understanding of the property and the client’s lifestyle. Some seek a subtle refresh, while others are undertaking complete transformations, whether expanding for a growing family, relocating, or designing a harmonious retreat. Each project is entirely unique and that’s what makes our work so rewarding.”
While some clients arrive with a defined aesthetic, others rely on the design team to guide the vision. “Regardless of the brief, we bring clarity, structure and creativity to the process,” Jones explains. “Our role is to interpret our client’s aspirations and deliver a scheme that not only aligns with their tastes, elevates their daily living.
”Insights from recent trade shows in Paris and Milan indicate a growing shift toward earthy palettes and organic forms; a move influenced by the natural world and a desire for more grounded, authentic environments. These motifs are carefully woven into projects where appropriate, always in harmony with the architectural language and existing palette.
“Our aesthetic could be described as traditional contemporary,” says Jones. “Elegant, layered and enduring. We often look back at projects from over a decade ago and still find them as captivating today.”
Today’s affluent homeowner is also prioritising wellness, privacy and comfort. A marked move away from statement gloss finishes toward more tactile, natural materials, along with a rising interest in wellbeing spaces such as spa bathrooms, home gyms and private wellness suites. “Luxury now often means retreat,”
Jones notes. “Our clients want spaces that support their physical and mental wellbeing; a home that offers both grandeur and grounding.”
Many clients return years after project completion, entrusting the team with new properties, overseas residences, or design refreshes. A testament to the firm’s reputation for discretion, excellence and personal service.
“We are honoured to celebrate 30 years in business,” says Jones. “It’s a moment that allows us to reflect on the legacy we’ve built. But more importantly, it inspires us to continue shaping extraordinary interiors for the next generation of discerning homeowners.”

The residence features five bedrooms and four bathrooms, providing ample space for families and guests. Unique amenities include a wine room, a games room with triple-height bunk beds, a pool table and an arcade machine.

The property is a sought-after location for TV, film and photoshoots and has hosted numerous large-scale productions. For filmmakers and photographers, Deerswood offers practical features such as wide access through two 12-foot-wide automated gates and secure parking for over ten vehicles.
Deerswood’s allure has not gone unnoticed in the media. The property has been featured in prestigious publications, highlighting its appeal to celebrities and its prominence in the world of prime property. Its unique blend of modernist architecture and natural beauty makes it an ideal backdrop for creative projects and a dream home for those seeking a harmonious blend of style and comfort.
But the real question – how did they do it? Purchased by owners Mike and Jane in 2015 for £937,000, spending almost all of their budget, which was affordable due to existing development rights for the small cottage. Fast forward four years, the property is now almost unrecognisable. A true renovation, almost knock down and rebuild.
The Plan
“We were told by the council that our contemporary design was not in keeping with the other houses in the road” says Mike. “They told us that we could only amend the existing building – keeping the four external walls, rather than knocking it down and starting again.” Presented with this challenge, Mike and Jane managed to retain the original four walls which now make up the entrance hall and core of the extended house. The design and planning were carefully arranged around this caveat and the ‘bones’ of their home, extended accordingly. The finished house now extends to 375m2, over five times the size of the original dwelling.
The house is now paying for itself.
The Process
During the building works, Mike and Jane lived in the original dwelling during the design phase, right up until it was physically impossible to. Jane describes the original dwelling as a “very tiny damp shack” of which friends and family thought they were crazy to live in. At Christmas time, they resorted to painting a Christmas tree on plasterboard walls as a surprise for their two children. During the impossible living stages, the family cleverly offered their services as live in pet sitters. “We got to live in some amazing homes for free, but this also meant we were continually moving around for many weeks at a time.” Says Jane.
Learning Curve
“We project managed the build ourselves after being let down numerous times by unreliable builders, but we learnt so much.” says Mike. They were quick to rely on friends, family, websites and even magazines and shows for advice on their build. Events such as The Homebuilding and Renovating Show, are at the forefront of supporting renovators and self-builders along their journey.
Reaping The Rewards
The Improvised Fun Parts
Mike and Jane were keen to incorporate elements of fun and often made things themselves, such as the storage for the wine room and triple height bunk beds in the games room. Whilst retaining the luxury high-end contemporary feel of the home, they added reclaimed salvaged pieces such as an old factory window, which they transformed into their hallway mirror.
“The house is now paying for itself” says Mike. Over the last few years, Mike and Jane have cleverly hired out their home as a location house, meaning it has been home to many different film, TV and magazine shoots. This includes the likes of music videos for famous rappers, adverts for Ferrari along the driveway and even Stormzy’s 30th birthday party. “We know this is a unique opportunity, and we feel incredibly lucky. The location house approach isn’t for everyone, but when we weighed the costs and hiring needs against the goals of our project, it became clear that none of this would’ve been possible without taking the leap to do this project in the first place.”

The Rise of the Home Organiser
Prime Property Market
Within the upper echelons of the UK’s property market, a discreet yet transformative service is rapidly becoming indispensable. As custodians of exceptional homes seek to elevate not only the aesthetic but also the effortless functionality of their interiors, the role of the high-end home organiser has become increasingly vital. Once peripheral to estate management, these professionals are now central to the curation and maintenance of these refined households.
Professional home organising has become an essential service in the management and seamless operation of prime residences. In
homes where architecture, design and location represent the highest tier of investment, the demand is not simply for beauty, but for intelligent systems that support both aesthetic and efficiency in daily life.
The modern home organiser is not merely a technician of order, they are a curator of clarity, a strategist of space. Their remit spans the meticulous arrangement of living areas, dressing rooms, kitchens and utility spaces, all with an emphasis on tailored systems that reflect the rhythms of each household. Functionality is paramount, but so too is visual harmony: every item has a place, every space a purpose.
Precision, discretion and taste underpin the entire process. In prime properties, where scale and specification demand exacting oversight, organisation is not just about decluttering. It is about enhancing flow, preserving tranquillity and upholding the standards expected of a world-class residence. Storage solutions are bespoke, often custom-designed or sourced from heritage brands. Wardrobes are arranged with the logic and elegance of a boutique, while kitchens are configured for both culinary performance and aesthetic value.
Professional organisers offer something uniquely valuable : clarity amidst complexity, order amidst the demands of a busy life.
Hayley Harrison and Gemma Abraham, co-founders of Surrey’s leading home organisation company, Organise-d, state that “increasingly, clients are turning to us not only to optimise their living environments, but to support them through the complexities of relocation. In the rarefied world of UHNW property, where moves often span countries and continents, the logistical and emotional weight of transitioning into or out of a prime residence demands expert handling.”
Here, the organiser becomes an indispensable partner. In the pre-sale phase, they conduct strategic edits to prepare the home for valuation or marketing, ensuring that presentation is immaculate and that only meaningful belongings are retained
for the next chapter. During the move, they orchestrate the packing process with forensic precision; each box inventoried, each room mapped and each possession handled with utmost care.
But it is in the post-move phase that their impact is perhaps most profound. Clients arrive not to a house in flux, but to a home already functioning at its best. Every wardrobe is styled, every cupboard arranged and every bathroom readied for immediate use. Children’s belongings are intuitively placed and seasonal wardrobes rotated. The result is a transition devoid of chaos, imbued with calm and befitting of the lifestyle to which clients are accustomed.
This rise in demand has given way to a new calibre of professional organisers who combine spatial acumen with project management expertise and a nuanced understanding of luxury lifestyles. Hayley and Gemma explain “we work in close alignment with interior designers, estate managers and concierge services, providing a level of cohesion and discretion expected at the highest tiers.”
In an era where time is precious and homes are both sanctuary and statement, professional organisers offer something uniquely valuable: clarity amidst complexity, order amidst the demands of a busy life. For those navigating the logistics of multiple properties, global travel and generational stewardship, the presence of a trusted home organiser is not merely a convenience, it is an essential.
As Prime real estate continues to evolve, the expectations of its residents evolve with it. The modern luxury home must not only impress; it must work effortlessly. At the heart of that quiet efficiency stands a new kind of professional: the high-end home organiser, orchestrating calm behind the scenes.
