St George’s Hill Waldegrave House occupies an imposing position set back off Rodona Road within the heart of the internationally renowned St George’s Hill private residential Estate. At one time a Bronze Age hill fort, known as Caesars Camp, stood on the summit. In 1911, the master builder W G Tarrant acquired 964 acres and created an estate of “large country retreats for the wealthy gentlemen of London”. St George’s Hill now contains more than 400 properties and enjoys a reputation as one of the very best private residential estates outside London. Close to the centre of Weybridge, the greens and fairways of St George’s Hill Golf Club meander through the Estate, whilst the Lawn Tennis, Squash and Croquet Club offers a luxurious fitness centre and an indoor swimming pool. The Estate provides controlled gated security and privacy, offering an ideal community location. The A3 is a short driving distance giving access to London and the M25 which, in turn, leads to the national motorway network as well as Heathrow and Gatwick airports. Schooling in the area is excellent and includes the American Community School at Cobham, Claremont Fan Court School in Esher and St George’s School / College in Weybridge, to name a few. Weybridge and the nearby towns of Esher, Cobham and Walton on Thames provide a comprehensive range of shopping outlets, international restaurants and recreational facilities.
