The changing face of St George’s Hill

PRLog (Press Release) - Apr 29, 2008 -
As UK property search agents (http://www.elitepropertysearch.com/) responsible for the acquisition of million pound houses (http://www.elitepropertysearch.com/content/Million_pound_houses.html) on behalf of private clients, Elite Property Search have noticed the changing designs and size of the millionaire homes on St George’s Hill. Many of the original houses are now being redeveloped to meet the demands of modern living.

St George’s Hill (http://www.elitepropertysearch.com/property_locations/St_...) is renowned as an enclave for the rich and famous. It is built around one of the UK’s leading golf courses, which consists of 3 loops of nine holes, designed in 1912 by Harry Colt one of the leading golf architects of all time. The gated estate was originally the vision of Walter George Tarrant a local builder who wanted to provide homes for the wealthy London gentry and started the project in 1911.

The traditional houses built on St Georges Hill are referred to as Tarrant houses named after the visionary W G Tarrant. All the Tarrant houses are south facing and have fantastic views. However, as these houses approach 100 years old they are not meeting the modern day lifestyle requirements of the rich and famous. Consequently many are being purchased by developers to be replaced with larger even more luxurious houses designed with modern lifestyle requirements in mind. The new houses have to meet the requirements of very demanding customers and need to offer facilities such as home entertainment centres, wine cellars, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and spa facilities.

With this new approach, interest has been renewed in St George’s Hill in recent years. Buyers increasingly appreciate the quality of life that this wooded estate offers all within 25 miles of Central London. In addition the estate is only 3 miles to junction 11 of the M25, giving it easy access to all parts of the UK.

Some recent sales in St George’s Hill are Hartlands:- sold  for £10 million pounds  and Waverley:- sold in excess of £13.5 million pounds. Another property Aurora is available at £9.6 million pounds. As with many of the new developments on St George’s Hill, Aurora is not lacking in latest features. It includes a master bedroom with his and hers wetrooms , 4 additional bedroom suites and lift access to all floors. The outstanding feature of Aurora is its leisure floor, including a cinema, indoor swimming pool, spa facilities a red wine store and separate white wine store.
