Shabden Park, High Road, Chipstead

Dating back to 1740 and remastered in 1871, Shabden Park is a lavish, Grade II‑listed family home steeped in history. Once the private estate of Lord Marshall—Lord Mayor of London after WWI—who hosted royal guests including King George V and his sons, the property combines stately grandeur with a contemporary, family‑friendly layout 

Interior 

Upon entering you’re greeted by an elegant galleried staircase beneath an exquisite ornate ceiling—a striking introduction to the home’s timeless grandeur. Underfoot, rich French oak flooring adds warmth and continuity throughout the principal rooms, while period-authentic Lassco cast-iron radiators, topped with bespoke brass valves, blend functionality with historical charm. The newly fitted kitchen offers a perfect harmony of contemporary design and classic appeal, and double-glazed sash windows with electric blinds flood the interior with soft natural light while maintaining the home’s traditional character. Thoughtfully integrated Lutron lighting enhances the ambiance with ease, complementing the high ceilings and decorative cornicing that accentuate each space. In the drawing room, a majestic stone fireplace framed by elegant wood panelling becomes a focal point, illuminated by generous picture windows. The dining hall impresses with soaring ceilings and elaborate plasterwork, offering an atmosphere of Victorian elegance. Upstairs, the master suite features a luxurious en‑suite wet room and separate WC, joined by three further bedrooms, two additional bathrooms, and a charming mezzanine study that overlooks the staircase. There is also an extensive basement which offers an exciting project to transform this space. 

Garden & Grounds

Set within approximately two acres of landscaped grounds and parkland, Shabden Park is approached via electric gates along a sweeping driveway leading to a gravelled parking area, three car ports, and a double garage. The mature gardens, oriented south‑west, feature a stone‑paved terrace with balustrade, manicured yew and laurel hedging, a charming pond with water feature, and established trees for privacy. Subtle exterior floodlighting and garden‑floor lights enhance the ambience late into the evening.
