Description
A grand five-bedroom, four-bathroom Grade II listed Georgian wing offering over 3,500 sq ft of elegant living. Set within a secure, gated parkland estate with 17 acres of grounds, this beautifully proportioned home blends historic charm with modern comfort, just moments from Pirbright and under an hour from London.
Thomas Sheriff Place is an exceptional Grade II listed Georgian wing forming part of Henley Park—a historic mansion estate with origins dating back to 727 AD. Once named for its Saxon translation “high clearing,” the estate has long-standing royal connections, serving as a residence to Edward the Confessor, Richard the Lionheart and Edward VII, and later Lord Pirbright and Lady Rothschild and historical intrigue, from its days as a royal hunting lodge through scandal and use in the Second World War. Henley Park was part of the royal Forest of Windsor as early as the 12th Century and after a succession of royal and noble owners it finally passed into private hands around 1630 where is was re built in the Georgian Style before being beautifully restored in the late 1990s into four individual freehold homes.
Offering over 3,500 sq ft of accommodation across four floors, this elegant south-facing residence features a formal reception hall, a magnificent double-length drawing room with working fireplace, a large kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and cloakroom. There are five generously proportioned bedrooms and four bathrooms (three en suites), blending period character with modern convenience.
Set within 17 acres of stunning communal parkland and approached via electric gates and a sweeping ¾-mile tree-lined drive, the property also benefits from a detached double garage, two private parking spaces and a private walled garden with mature borders and views over the Hogs Back—making this a unique countryside retreat or impressive full-time residence.
Outside
The property features a private walled garden to the rear, offering a peaceful south-west facing setting with mature borders, a gravelled terrace, and a generous lawn that slopes gently towards woodland. A detached double garage and four allocated parking spaces complete the outside space, with scenic walks accessed via a private gate.
Situation
Set within the historic Henley Park estate, this property enjoys a serene, elevated position between the Surrey Hills and Hampshire border. Pirbright’s village green, pond and pubs are nearby, while the shopping centres of Guildford, Farnham and Godalming—each just a short drive—offer a wide range of amenities.
There’s a strong choice of both state and independent schools including Guildford High, RGS, Cranleigh, Charterhouse and Frensham Heights. The area is rich in recreational options with nearby golf courses, tennis and cricket clubs, countryside walks, and riding routes through woodlands and commons.
Transport links are excellent: Brookwood (32 minutes), Worplesdon (31 Minutes), and Wanborough (45 minutes) stations offer services to London Waterloo in under an hour. The A3 and M25 give easy road access to Heathrow and Gatwick—both under an hour—along with Portsmouth ferries to France, making this a highly connected yet peaceful setting for family life or weekend escape.
