The school bought a 68-acre (270,000&nbsp;m²) site atop a hill just outside Godalming. In addition to the main school buildings (designed by architect [[Philip Charles Hardwick]]), they constructed three boarding houses, known as Saunderites (once the headmaster's house, pronounced "sarnderites" rather than "sornderites"), Verites and Gownboys (for scholars, who were entitled to wear gowns).

The four old houses have been around since the original founding of the school. Saunderites is named after its first Housemaster Mr. Saunders and it was the Headmaster's house, in that the headmaster would not only run the school but one of the houses. Unfortunately the dramatic increase in the size of the school, and the increasing difficulties in running such a school have meant that the Headmaster can no longer do this. Gownboys was originally named not after a Mr. Gown but after the fact that Gownboys was the scholars' house, scholars wearing gowns as their uniform and treated as superior to other boys. That tradition is no longer so, and the scholars are now distributed throughout the various houses, on a random but numerically equal basis. There are still scholars in Gownboys, but in no greater proportion than any other house. Verites was founded by an Oliver and Girdlestonites by a Mr. Girdlestone.
