Loxhill, Godalming, Surrey GU8

Park Hatch is an estate rich in heritage and enveloped by the quintessential Surrey countryside. Once home to an elegant 18th century mansion, the estate retains much of its historic character, from its original garden walls to its beautifully preserved grounds. The original estate was made up of over 300 acres.

Park Hatch House is a modern country house built in 2014 by the current owners. It's elevated position delivers impressive views across the Sussex Weald, from the North to the South Downs and over Hascombe Hill and the deer park.

Designed in a Palladian style, the house features a cantilevered staircase beneath a glazed roof pyramid, which lights up the impressive entrance hall, hand-cast plasterwork, marble fireplaces and stone or cushion cut limestone floors. The high-efficiency construction includes specialist glazing, extra thick and insulated walls and underfloor heating throughout, powered by two air-source heat pumps.

A double garage, wood store, wine cellar and storage rooms sit alongside the house (planning permission approved for the conversion of part of this outbuilding to allow for more living space). The 12.5-acre grounds include formal gardens, lawns to entertain or for children to play, there is a stunning mature woodland which leads down to a large lake, a haven for wildlife. Spaced throughout the grounds are some notable specimen trees such as Lebanon cedars, oaks and rhododendrons.

Further information is available at www.parkhatch.com, where the owners have shared the history of Park Hatch along with their work to rebuild their home and restore the surrounding gardens and grounds. The site also features historical research, family connections, and blog-style updates documenting discoveries and their progress throughout the restoration.

There is lapsed planning permission for the conversion of the existing garaging into ancillary residential accommodation. The consented works lapsed in Feb 2026, granted under application reference WA/2022/03120, include internal alterations and associated development necessary to facilitate the new ancillary living space. The owners are in the process of reapplying for this planning permission.
