Ribsden Holt is approached via wrought iron entrance gates which open onto an exceptional driveway that winds gently up through the grounds. Bordering the drive are banks of rhododendrons, mature lawns and specimen trees.
Approaching the front of the house, the eye is immediately drawn to the beautiful views southwards over miles of Surrey countryside to The North Downs. Views like these in this area are almost impossible to find.
As you enter through an impressive front door the charm and character of Ribsden Holt is immediately apparent. The reception hall and staircase are indeed rare examples of this style of architecture which continues throughout the house with beamed ceilings, polished wood floors, large open fireplaces, leaded light windows and fascinating interior latch doors.
The accommodation is laid out over four floors and the drawing room is particularly noteworthy being large enough to have a sitting area in front of a huge period fireplace, a bar area for guests and still have space for a grand piano. It also opens into the dining room so, combined, these rooms flow well for those who enjoy entertaining.
On the first floor the principal suite is equally impressive with double bay windows enjoying distant views, dual bathrooms and dressing rooms. There are three further suites on this floor, whilst the second floor offers additional bedrooms, sitting rooms and storage.
To the rear of the property, and accessed via a secondary staircase, there is a self-contained staff flat with two bedrooms, kitchen, sitting room and bathroom. The lower ground level is dedicated to garaging for 10 cars, various storage rooms and large wine cellar.

Outside
The extensive grounds extend to approximately 37 acres and comprise a mixture of formal lawns and gardens, exceptional rhododendron plant beds, various mature specimen trees and a hillside pine woodland. A swimming pool and tennis court are set to one side of the formal gardens and the boundary to the rear directly adjoins the 9th and 10th hole of Sunningdale's Old Course. The estate includes a detached self-contained garden lodge, a walled garden, former polo paddock, outbuildings and stabling for horses.

Situation
Just 25 miles from Central London the property is situated on a leafy rural road, just on the edge of Sunningdale and Windlesham villages. Conveniently located for access to the motorway network, with Junction 3 of the M3 being about 3.2 miles away. This connects with the M25 and provides good vehicular access to Central London, Heathrow and the West Country. It is worth noting that Farnborough Airport, an important hub for private aircraft, is only about 10 miles away.

The property is only about 2.5 miles from Sunningdale Station (Waterloo 50 minutes) and Waitrose supermarket. There are a number of good local shops in Windlesham and Sunningdale with Ascot offering a more comprehensive selection, including coffee shops and restaurants. The recently refurbished Brickmakers Pub, less than a quarter of a mile away, is highly regarded and has a great restaurant.

The area is ideal for those with sporting interests. There are several world renowned golf courses nearby inclusing
