Winterfold House, Victorian country house in Cranleigh, England
The estate spans 212 acres of Surrey hills, rising to 700 feet above sea level and containing part of the Hurt Wood forest region.
Architect Edward Blakeway I'Anson designed Winterfold House in 1886 for Richard Webster QC, who later became Viscount Alverstone and Lord Chief Justice.
During World War II, the British Government used Winterfold House as a training facility for the Special Operations Executive, conducting student assessments.
The main house features tall windows, ornate details, and a symmetrical facade, surrounded by gardens that incorporate numerous flowering trees and shrubs.
In 1964, Prince Carol of Romania purchased the property for £100,000, and in 2011 a memorial was established to commemorate its wartime intelligence role.
