Description
Overton House, a Grade II listed building, has a rich history dating back to the 1740s. The property was originally a fortified tower built for Anne Oglethorpe and Eleanor Marquise de Mezieres, sisters of James Oglethorpe, who was a Jacobite supporter. The tower was one of two forts built along a vineyard wall to prepare Westbrook as a Jacobite stronghold.
Over the years, the house has undergone extensions and renovations, incorporating the original tower into the main accommodation. The property features a unique layout, with a fabulous roof terrace offering panoramic views of Godalming town, a vaulted kitchen/dining room, and a separate guest bedroom/study with shower room. The extensive and private terraced gardens offer a peaceful retreat, and the property is conveniently located in the heart of Godalming, with easy access to the town center, mainline station, and surrounding countryside.
