This Tuscan-style villa is the height of luxury


Dreaming of Italy but reluctant to bid farewell to the British countryside? Look no further than this Tuscan-style villa on the prestigious St George’s Hill estate in Surrey. It’s a real show-stopper – and it even served as a filming location for Matthew Vaughn’s Layer Cake.

Inside A Layer Cake Filming Location In St George’s Hill

Who doesn’t love a grand Surrey home? While the leafy spot is brimming with gorgeous properties, nowhere is quite as coveted as the St George’s Hill Estate, which plays host to a number of big names (including Sir Cliff Richard.) The latest property to hit the market from this exclusive enclave? An imposing five-bedroom villa that you just might recognise from Layer Cake.

Marble tiled hallway with grand staircase

Behind its Tuscan-style façade, the property is complete with five bedrooms, five bathrooms and five reception rooms. The breathtaking entrance hall gives a taste of the opulence that’s to come: think vaulted ceilings, a dramatic staircase and a glittering chandelier.

There are plenty of perfect dinner party spots, from an elegant dining room to a sprawling double-aspect reception room and a glamorous bar on the lower ground floor. (The hand-painted kitchen/breakfast room is even accompanied by a separate prep kitchen – ideal for seamless entertaining.) The ground floor also contains two sitting rooms and a study.

Upstairs, three of the five bedroom suites are finished off with gorgeous balconies overlooking the grounds. You’ll find a further bedroom downstairs, in a self-contained annexe with its own private entrance.

When it comes to the outside space, there’s just over an acre of manicured lawns to explore (including a patio area, which offers yet another place to entertain). The highlight, however, is the dazzling outdoor pool. What’s a Tuscan villa without a swimming spot, after all? Even if it is located in St George’s Hill and not, in fact, in Tuscany…
