Grand Sussex Manor Hotel: Modern Visual Redesigns of a British Classic

About Stanhill Court:

Stanhill Court is a late nineteenth-century country house hotel in Charlwood, Surrey.

It sits within landscaped grounds and has generous rooms, tall windows and a quiet sense of welcome.

There are fifty-nine guest bedrooms and a range of public rooms and event spaces. It is a much-loved local landmark with period detail and room to breathe.

We chose this hotel as our example because the structure is strong and the character is intact. Parts of the look feel tired, which makes it ideal for showing how our visualisations can bring a calmer mood without changing the layout.

These images are only the beginning: one gentle direction with space for many others.

When we work with owners, whether home or business owners, we sit with the brief, talk through taste and purpose, and refine each room together.

If you wish to explore layout changes, we can visualise those too. The aim is simple: to help you see clearly and feel confident when making that purchase.

Our Workflow:

We create AI visualisations using specialist software and then finish each picture by hand. It is a simple mix of smart tools and careful manual edits, so the images feel natural and true to the rooms.

You will see:

• Before-and-after images across many rooms at Stanhill Court.
• The same layout held in each frame.
• The look updated through themes, colours and light.
• This is an example only, to explore options and gain confidence when buying a property, whether residential or business.

Themes, colours and lights:

We work with a range of modern palettes and themes that respect the building, soften or brighten lighting where it helps, and keep visual noise low so the architecture can shine.

The point is to show how the same rooms can read clearly and feel welcoming, without changing their shape.

How it works for projects like this:

These are custom projects. We begin with a detailed conversation to understand your property and your aims.

Using the images you provide (or we can do photography for you), we create tailored before-and-after visualisations for the spaces you choose.

The scope, pace and depth are set with you. There are no fixed steps and no templates; we work together until it feels right.

What this gives you as an owner:

• A clear view of how the hotel could look with different themes and colours;
• An easy way to share intent with partners and team members;
• A steady path to build on, room by room, at a pace that suits your diary;
• Images also serve as a great marketing tool when listing and presenting a property like this.

We hope you’ve enjoyed exploring these visualizations of this beautiful Grand Hotel. The visuals you see here are only a glimpse of what’s possible. In these examples, we kept the existing layout intact — but that’s just the beginning. Every project we take on is different, and there’s truly no limit to what can be achieved.

If you have a similar project in mind — whether a personal or professional space — we’d love to hear from you. You can request a custom quote directly by filling in the form below. 

We look forward to helping you unlock the full potential of your space.
