THE SPY'S HOUSE
Luxury Surrey Estate • Sleeps 14 • Hot Tub • 3 Acres • Near London
Welcome to The Spy's House, a beautiful seven-bedroom country estate set within three acres of private grounds in the Surrey Hills, less than an hour from central London.
Originally the country residence of a former Director General of MI5, this remarkable home combines privacy, history and luxury to create a truly memorable setting for family gatherings, celebrations, reunions, retreats and special occasions.
Whether you are planning a milestone birthday, a multi-generational family holiday, a wedding weekend, a corporate retreat or simply an opportunity to reconnect with friends away from the pressures of everyday life, The Spy's House provides an exceptional backdrop.
Unlike many large group properties, The Spy's House offers genuine space both inside and out. The estate sits within approximately three acres of private grounds, providing room for children to play, adults to relax and groups to gather together without ever feeling crowded.
The house comfortably accommodates up to fourteen guests across seven beautifully appointed bedrooms. Generous reception spaces allow everyone to come together while also providing quieter areas to retreat to with a book, a coffee or a glass of wine.
Outside, guests can enjoy extensive gardens, mature landscaping, open lawns and a large hot tub. On warm evenings, dine al fresco beneath the stars. During cooler months, gather indoors and enjoy the comfort and character of this unique country home.

THE GROUNDS
One of the most frequently commented-upon aspects of the property is the sense of space.
Three acres of private grounds are increasingly rare, particularly so close to London.
The gardens create a feeling of being in your own private country estate. Children can explore safely. Adults can relax outdoors. Guests can enjoy morning coffee overlooking the grounds or evening drinks beneath the stars.
For photographers, filmmakers and content creators, the setting offers numerous attractive backdrops throughout the seasons.
THE HOT TUB EXPERIENCE
After a day exploring Surrey, hiking the nearby hills, attending a wedding or enjoying local attractions, there are few better ways to unwind than soaking in the hot tub beneath the open sky.
Whether enjoyed on a crisp winter evening or a warm summer night, it has become one of the property's most popular features.
A UNIQUE HISTORY
Few holiday homes can claim such an intriguing past.
Known affectionately as The Spy's House, the property was formerly associated with one of Britain's most important intelligence figures.
While guests come primarily for the comfort, space and setting, the history adds a unique character and conversation piece that makes a stay here feel genuinely different from a standard holiday rental.
A PLACE TO CREATE MEMORIES
Many guests tell us that what they remember most is not a particular room or feature but the time spent together.
Family meals that run late into the evening.
Children playing on the lawns.
Friends reconnecting after years apart.
Wedding guests gathering before a special day.
Three generations sharing the same table.
The Spy's House was made for these moments.
If you are searching for a property that combines luxury, privacy, accessibility and genuine character, we would be delighted to welcome you.
We look forward to hosting you at The Spy's House.
