Gilridge House in Cowden, near Lingfield, is a new built country house which takes its inspiration from the Classical period. Sitting in 2.5 acres, the house is built of mellow stock bricks and has a Bath stone portico. The ground floor includes a kitchen with an Aga, a drawing room, a snug and a spacious hall where an American oak staircase leads up to the first floor.

There are five bedrooms, including a master suite and a long, glass-fronted balcony runs from the master bedroom to the guest bedrooms and affords lovely views of the gardens and surrounding countryside.

Country Life

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
