| Information | |
Castle Hill (originally known as Elvill's) is a large late-18th-century or early-19th-century mansion in Englefield Green, in the north-westernmost corner of Surrey. The house is today Grade II listed.[1]
In 2012, the estate covered 33 acres, but it had previously stood at 108 acres at the time of its 1863 sale.
The house was designed by Stiff Leadbetter for Sir John Elwill, 4th Baronet and built between 1758 and 1763. It was purchased by the Ugland Marine Insurance Company in the 1990s. It is presently owned by a foreign royal family.[1][2]
In addition to the main house, the entrance gates, bothy, stable block, and dairy are all individually Grade II listed.[3][4][5][6]
