About this property
Experience this beautiful Regency house, which is located in an exceptional setting and enjoys stunning views across the Surrey Hills. Once the home of poet and playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan at the end of the 18th century, Polesden Lacey was remodelled in 1906-9 by the Hon. Mrs Ronald Greville, a well-known Edwardian hostess, and was the venue for the honeymoon of the future King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1923. Enjoy Mrs Greville's collections of fine paintings, furniture, porcelain and silver – which are displayed in the reception rooms and galleries, as they were at the time of her celebrated house parties. Then explore the beautiful walled rose garden, with its variety of scented plants, before strolling through the extensive grounds and lawns. There are also a number of landscape walks to try out.
