Burwood Park
Sophisticated private estate, neighbour of St Georges Hill with stunning wildlife and arguably one of the most security obsessed estates in Surrey.
Burwood Park is a prestigious private, gated residential estate located in Surrey, within the Borough of Elmbridge. Widely regarded as one of Surrey’s most desirable addresses, it offers a blend of exclusivity, heritage, and natural beauty.
Set across approximately 360 acres of mature parkland, woodland, and tranquil lakes and ponds, Burwood Park combines the serenity of a countryside setting with the refinement of high-end residential living. The estate’s exquisite woodland backdrop and landscaped environment provide an exceptional sense of privacy and tranquillity while maintaining easy access to nearby towns and transport links.
Historically, the land that now forms Burwood Park was once part of Henry VIII’s holdings and functioned as a deer park during Tudor times. Over the centuries, it passed through various private owners before being sold off for residential development in the 1920s and 1930s. The result is a carefully planned estate of individually designed homes, surrounded by mature trees and open green spaces, which retains much of its historic character.
The estate in in Hersham which lies between Weybridge, Walton-on-Thames, and Esher, giving residents convenient access to a wide range of amenities in these nearby towns. Commuting from Burwood Park is particularly straightforward: Walton-on-Thames railway station offers regular services to London Waterloo in around 28–30 minutes, while the A3 and M25 (Junction 10) are only a short drive away, providing excellent road connectivity to London, the South East, and the airports. Despite this accessibility, Burwood Park maintains a distinctly secluded atmosphere, enhanced by its proximity to beautiful countryside areas such as Esher Commons, West End Common, and the River Thames, which provide plentiful opportunities for walking and outdoor recreation.
Homes within Burwood Park are typically large, detached luxury properties set on generous plots, many enjoying views of lakes, woodlands, or beautifully landscaped gardens. The estate operates under strict covenants and planning controls that govern the number of homes per plot, architectural styles, and landscaping. These regulations ensure the estate remains low-density and retains its sense of harmony, space, and prestige. The mix of mature woodland, two main lakes, and abundant wildlife gives Burwood Park a uniquely natural feel, while the thoughtful layout of houses—with “green borders” and open landscaping creates a sense of openness and continuity even within its gated boundaries.

All entrances except one are access-controlled, with electronic pass systems and number-plate recognition technology providing peace of mind. The community within Burwood Park is close-knit, with residents actively involved in maintaining the estate’s security, environmental quality, and shared services. Informal social groups and neighbourhood watch schemes are common, contributing to the estate’s strong sense of community.
