Burwood Park

About This Property

If you were to stroll through Burwood Park today, with its tree-lined avenues, landscaped gardens, and stately residences, it might be hard to imagine that this exclusive private estate was once the playground of a Tudor king. Yet in 1540, Henry VIII acquired several acres of this open, wooded parkland, just a swift horseback ride from Hampton Court Palace, to indulge one of his greatest pleasures: hunting. In those days, the land echoed with the sounds of royal hunts and courtly gatherings.

Today, that same land plays host to a residence every bit as impressive as its royal past. Arriving through secure gates, visitors are greeted by a majestic fountain courtyard and a grand portico entrance, an approach that sets the stage for the opulence within.

Step inside, and the magnificent entrance hall opens onto an array of refined reception rooms: an elegant drawing room, a stately library, a formal dining room, and a spacious sitting room, all boasting superb ceiling heights and designed for sophisticated living and entertaining. A billiards room and a wine store further enhance the home’s social appeal.

The kitchen, outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances, flows into a relaxed dining area perfect for informal gatherings. For work and wellness, the property offers a gymnasium, multiple study suites, and a dedicated home office.

Upstairs, six generously proportioned bedroom suites provide the utmost comfort. The principal suite is a retreat in itself, featuring dual lavish dressing rooms and spa-like en-suite bathrooms. Additional suites ensure family and guests are accommodated in equal style.

Leisure facilities rival those of a private club: a spectacular indoor swimming pool (currently awaiting its next chapter), a sauna, and a dedicated pool room offer year-round indulgence. Outside, manicured gardens provide a tranquil green sanctuary, while a secure guard station, private parking courtyard, and ample garaging complete this distinguished estate.

Burwood Park’s story has evolved from royal hunting lodge to a haven of modern luxury, but its enduring appeal remains timeless.
