Oxshott and the Crown Estate represent some of Surrey’s prime private estate territory. With substantial homes, mature landscaping, excellent privacy and strong appeal to high-net-worth families, homeowners in Oxshott expect more than a standard building contractor. They want one experienced, accountable team to manage every element: architecture, planning, interior design, construction, MEP, bespoke joinery, fit-out and final finishing.
That is why #nu Town & Country was created. Built from the same standards as #nu Projects, our Town & Country division brings a complete design and build service to substantial private homes, country houses, luxury estates and new-build mansions beyond central London. For clients who want privacy, space, security and sound technical design, #nu Town & Country runs the route from first idea to finished home.
Why a super prime country house is a different job
Luxury homes in Surrey and Berkshire are not simple residential projects. They are often large, technically complex properties requiring architectural sensitivity, detailed planning, structural coordination and a deep understanding of how high-net-worth clients live. A new-build mansion in Cobham, a replacement dwelling in Oxshott or a major refurbishment in Weybridge may involve basement leisure spaces, cinema rooms, gyms, wellness suites, swimming pool houses, staff accommodation, guest suites, extensive garaging, smart home systems, security integration and carefully coordinated landscaping.
These homes demand more than beautiful finishes. They require infrastructure. Behind every calm, elegant interior is a technical framework of mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, heating and cooling, ventilation, lighting, AV, automation, water systems, security, drainage and energy performance. If these elements are not designed and coordinated properly from the outset, they can affect everything from ceiling heights and joinery details to comfort, lighting quality, running costs and long-term performance.
#nu Town & Country brings these elements together under one accountable team.
A complete in house design and build service
#nu Town & Country offers a full-service approach for clients who want clarity, control and confidence throughout the project. Our in-house services include:
Architecture and concept design We develop the architectural direction of each home around the client’s lifestyle, the property’s setting and the planning context. This can include new-build mansions, country houses, replacement dwellings, major extensions, full refurbishments and sensitive alterations to period homes.
Planning and technical design We guide clients through feasibility, planning strategy, design development, consultant coordination, building control and technical detailing. In areas such as Cobham, Weybridge, Oxshott, Wentworth, Virginia Water and Ascot, planning sensitivity and local knowledge are essential.
Interior design Our interiors are designed to feel refined, functional and enduring. From reception rooms and kitchens to dressing rooms, bathrooms, libraries, studies, wellness areas and guest suites, every space is considered as part of the wider architectural vision.
Construction and fit-out Our construction team manages the physical delivery of the project, from structural works and extensions to full renovation, fit-out and final finishing. We focus on precision, programme control, quality and site discipline.
MEP coordination Mechanical, electrical and plumbing coordination is central to the way we deliver complex homes. We integrate heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, power, water, drainage, smart home technology, AV, security and life-safety systems into the design from the beginning, rather than treating them as afterthoughts.
Bespoke joinery Bespoke joinery is usually where a house stops looking like anyone else’s. We design and deliver fitted furniture, dressing rooms, libraries, boot rooms, media walls, bars, studies, wardrobes, bathroom storage and architectural detailing that feel built into the home rather than added later.
Project management and procurement We manage programme, procurement, subcontractors, consultants, budgets, quality control and aftercare. This gives clients one point of accountability and a clear structure from start to finish.
Built for the way these houses are lived in
The people who choose to live in large homes across Surrey and Berkshire are often looking for a very specific balance: proximity to London, more space, greater privacy and a better quality of daily life. Many are entrepreneurs, international families, finance professionals, sports and media figures, or private homeowners who want a home that supports family life, entertaining, wellness, security and long-term comfort.
In locations such as Cobham, Weybridge and Oxshott, the brief is rarely just “make it look beautiful.” Clients often want secure entrances, private driveways, elegant arrival sequences, generous entertaining areas, indoor-outdoor living, large kitchens, family rooms, home offices, staff or guest accommodation, wellness spaces, gyms, pools, cinema rooms, wine storage, landscaped gardens and garages designed around valuable car collections.
A house at this scale has to work quietly in the background. It should feel easy to live in, which takes a great deal of planning.

Over forty years of contractor experience
Our trusted contractor teams bring over 40 years’ experience developing, refurbishing and delivering some of the largest homes across Surrey, Berkshire and the surrounding super-prime residential areas. This experience matters. High-value residential projects require more than trade skill. They require sequencing, judgement, discretion, site discipline and an understanding of the standards expected in the luxury private client market.
From complex structural changes to highly detailed interiors, every element must be coordinated properly. Good results come when architecture, construction, MEP, joinery and interior design are aligned early and managed by one team with the experience to anticipate problems before they happen.

Design-led thinking Every decision is considered through the lens of proportion, detail, materiality, function and long-term value.
Technical coordination MEP, structural design, smart home systems, security and building control are integrated into the process from the start.
