Palmer Oaks The South East
SUPER CALI FABULOUS DIGS IN DEEPEST SURREY
It could be straight out of a David Hockney painting. Palmer Oaks is a low slung, California-style house, wrapped around a heated outdoor pool, and hidden in 14 of Surrey’s finest acres. Live your best Hollywood hills life in the more beautiful Surrey hills, as you wander through this light-filled house that blends mid-century style with modern sophistication. Lounge on the cool, curved sofas, watch movies on the big screen, cook a roast dinner in the Miele ovens and serve it in the dining room, where a flowing marquetry wall fills one line of sight and the outdoor view fills another. Full length window walls throughout the living spaces make the transition from inside to outside seamless.
Step onto the terrace and there’s the Hockney-esque California pool. Lounge, swim, splash and drink cocktails, making this space the hub of your summer holiday. Hit the gym for a Peloton challenge, head to the pool house for table tennis and table football, feel the heat in the steam room, and jump into the hot tub while the children jump on the trampoline. Get some steaks grilling on the barbecue and afterwards sink into the wraparound seating, warmed by the firepit. Move in front of the fire in the snug for cosy nights in, before heading to bed.
Sleep in luxury, with high quality mattresses, mattress toppers, 400 thread-count bed linens, and smart ensuite bathrooms. Wake up to views of the parklands bordered by oak trees and, in the foreground, the pool and croquet lawn. In a quaint corner of Surrey, this is a slice of LA glamour for 12 lucky guests.
