Moles Hill, Oxshott, Surrey, KT22 0QB

Set within the prestigious Crown Estate, Magnolia Heights is a five-bedroom house designed for family life on a generous scale.

Built by Royalton in 2002, it combines the quiet elegance of classic architecture with modern comforts such as underfloor heating, solid oak doors and limestone floors.

Behind secure gates, a long drive sweeps up to a double garage and ample parking. The house opens with a dramatic galleried reception hall that sets the tone for the light and space within.

To one side, a double-aspect drawing room with a working fireplace offers a calm setting for formal entertaining.

Across the hall, a study provides a private place to work, while a separate family room leads directly to the garden. The kitchen and breakfast room form the heart of the home.

Centred around a large island with counter seating, it flows easily to an informal dining area and beyond to a more formal dining room when the occasion calls.

A utility room keeps the practical side of life neatly out of sight.

Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to a magnificent principal suite with a dressing room and access to a roof terrace for morning coffee or late-evening views.

The guest suite also has its own dressing room, and three further bedroom suites ensure comfort and privacy for family and visitors alike.

Outside, landscaped gardens unfold behind the house, with a broad terrace for outdoor dining and space for a spa or play area.

Mature trees and planting give the garden privacy and year-round interest.

Magnolia Heights is ideally positioned for Surrey’s most respected schools and for Oxshott village, known for its friendly cafés, independent shops and rail connections to London Waterloo in around 35 minutes.

The surrounding countryside offers golf courses, woodland walks and riding, while the A3 and M25 provide easy links to Heathrow and Gatwick.
