A brand new mansion in a gated private estate in leafy Surrey could prove the most appealing spot amid the global pandemic.
We were given an exclusive tour of the £10.7million house for sale on St George’s Hill, Weybridge.
The private estate has been home to various celebrities over the years, including singers John Lennon and Tom Jones.
Exclusive tour of a Surrey mansion: Beech Rise on St George’s Hill, Weybridge, is for sale for £10.7million
The grand entrance hallway includes an impressive chandelier and leads into a large dining room
Much of St George’s Hill popularity lies in it being a 964 acre green oasis hidden from the world, while at the same time being easily accessible to London and Heathrow.
It has a mix of contemporary and older large family homes, which can cost seven, or even eight figures.
We were invited onto the gated enclave to see one of those properties – a brand new luxury mansion called Beech Rise.
MailOnline Property was given an exclusive tour of the house by Savills estate agents
The house has two water features in the back garden, along with plenty of outdoor seating space
Inside, there is a large swimming pool complex that has large glass doors overlooking the garden
The home is surrounded by greenery with views of the treetops from its extensive balconies.
It covers more than 12,712 square feet and sits on an acre of land – and it is this extensive space indoors and out that makes this property so attractive amid the restrictions placed on people’s movements during the pandemic.
If pandemic instructions mean you have to stay home, there is indoor swimming pool and a cinema room to make your time in the property as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
And outdoors, there is landscaped garden designed by Chelsea Gold medal winners Landscape Architects. It includes several terraces, two water features and a large lawn area.
Perfect for staying home: No mansion would be complete without its own cinema room

Simon Ashwell, of Savills – the estate agent handling the sale, which led the property tour – said: ‘Under the current restrictions, it is lovely to have an oasis of tranquillity that this property offers you.
‘It is surrounded by trees, and the size of the property gives you the opportunity to find a quiet place to work, somewhere to go for a swim or even just a quiet spot to watch your favourite television programme.’
He added: ‘The scale of this property is that it sits proud on the hill and so you’re in the treetops. From every room, you see the trees and then the sky – it is a fantastic backdrop for the house.’
Inside, there is a welcoming galleried hallway with marble floor. The large kitchen has several seating areas with views out to the terrace and gardens.
