While plenty of London landmarks are being turned into luxury apartments, the same can be said for huge country houses, too: check out this newly-converted private wing of a spectacular home in Guildford.

Dreaming of a glorious country home? Just one wing of a jaw-dropping mansion in Guildford will set you back £3 million; take a look inside, however, and you just might fall in love. 

Designed and built by Sir William Chambers, the architect to King George III (and the man behind London’s Somerset House), Peper Harow House has now been split into seven luxury apartments and two separate wings – one of which has just hit the market.

Spanning three floors on one side of the house, this wing is a five-bedroom, four-bathroom treasure trove. Cross the handsome reception hall and you can explore the drawing room, morning room and the billiard room, or take a peek into the dining room, which features towering arched windows.

You’ll find the cavernous kitchen/breakfast room on the lower ground floor, alongside a utility room and wine cellar. There are two further rooms on this floor: a study/guest bedroom and an elegant guest suite with a bathroom and a dressing room. Back upstairs, the first floor is occupied by two more guest suites plus the opulent principal suite, which encompasses a sleek bathroom and another dressing room.

Peper Harow House sits within 19 acres of verdant parkland designed by Capability Brown – and residents can enjoy exclusive access to the entire estate. Just three miles from Godalming and ninety minutes from London, it’s a ravishing country residence, reimagined. What’s not to love?
