Thomas Sheriff Place, a historical Grade II listed South facing wing of a Georgian Manor, boasts a captivating history that spans over 1,300 years, with origins tracing back to the Saxon era. Initially mentioned in 727 AD under its Saxon name, which translates to 'high clearing,' the property has since been the residence of various royals, aristocrats, and influential figures. Despite its antiquity, the mansion remains impeccably preserved, thanks to a significant restoration in the late 1990s that transformed it into four distinct freehold homes.
Access to this magnificent estate is through wrought iron electric gates & followed by a � mile tree-lined driveway meandering through serene parkland of 30 acres of communal gardens. This path leads to the imposing fa�ade of the grand country house. Inside, the property offers elegant and spacious family accommodations spread across four floors, merging modern comforts with historical charm. Its secure setting and manageable grounds make it an ideal weekend retreat or a lock-up-and-leave base in a picturesque and convenient location.
Nestled in the heart of the Surrey Hills and near the Hampshire border, this former Royal residence is situated in the parish of Normandy, encompassing the areas of Wyke, Christmas Pie, Willey Green, and Flexford. The southern part of the parish is close to the Hogs Back on the North Downs, while the northern part features rolling woodlands and commons, offering a blend of natural beauty and historical significance.
Thomas Sheriff Place is equidistant from Surrey's primary towns of Guildford, Farnham, and Godalming. These towns provide a wealth of activities, clubs, restaurants, and prestigious schools such as Guildford High, Royal Grammar School, Rydes Hill, St. Catherine's, Charterhouse, Priors Field, Aldro, Cranleigh, and Tormead for girls. The nearby village of Pirbright boasts excellent gastro pubs, an award-winning butcher, and various other amenities, ensuring all local needs are met.

Local train services from Wanborough and Ash stations connect to Reading in the west and Guildford in the east. Both Brookwood and Worplesdon Railway stations are situated within 5 miles from the house, providing fast and frequent rail services to London Waterloo from Woking and Guildford. The surrounding countryside is perfect for walking, cycling, and riding, with Henley Park Lake nearby, offering a serene retreat for nature lovers.
