Cherkley Court was acquired by Beaverbrook in 1911, the year after he entered Parliament. Following a fire in 1893, the house had been substantially rebuilt and restored in the French chateau style as a last-gasp monument to the richness of late Victorian architecture.
Beaverbrook re-decorated the house completely, installing his own swimming pool, tennis court and private cinema and was much influenced in his purchase by his friend Rudyard Kipling, as well as by the proximity of the house to London, making it within easy reach of Westminster and the City.
Its proximity to the city is still appealing described as a 'bolthole which is herd to leave’.
