This Stunning Victorian Home Was Designed as a Gentleman’s Residence
This property is listed for £4,750,000 by United Kingdom Sotheby's International Realty.
Fairmile Court House was named for the straight, flat section of road once a “fair mile” to test out a horse and carriage; later it became a notorious speed trap for the pioneer motorist, and today it is a part of the A307. The famous AA salute is said to originate here, not out of courtesy, but rather to warn drivers of hidden police patrol.
Originally designed as a Gentleman’s residence within the estate, Fairmile Court House was built in the late 19th century. The property is considered one of the most attractive homes in Cobham, set in a highly desirable residential section of town in the heart of a private estate in the village of Cobham in Surrey, just 17 miles from London.
With 8,510 square feet of living space in the 8-bedroom, 7-bathroom home, the property has an elegant garden that wraps around 3 sides of the home. The home is currently split into two, but available as a whole. It was upgraded extensively in 1999, and more recently renovated by its current owner.
