Situated in the heart of Mole Valley, a short drive from Leatherhead, Fetcham Park is a striking Queen Anne country house with a history stretching back over 300 years. Originally built in 1705 and designed by renowned architect William Talman, the house has stood as a testament to timeless craftsmanship, architectural beauty, and centuries of fascinating stories.

Today, while Fetcham Park serves as a thriving business centre offering flexible office space, meeting rooms, and unique event spaces, its historic charm remains beautifully preserved.

Heritage Open Days provides a rare chance to step inside and experience the house and gardens in all their grandeur.
