PROPERTY IN EAST HORSLEY

East Horsley is sometimes referred to as England’s wealthiest village.

With its neighbour West Horsley, the village is situated between Leatherhead and Guildford, from where there is good access to the A3/M25, London Heathrow and Gatwick airports. Horsley station, as well as close by Effingham Junction, are on the Guildford line, from where there are very fast links to London Waterloo.

There are good schools, local shopping and other amenities such as pubs, restaurants and sports clubs. There is an abundance of local woodland and picturesque scenery associated, in part, with the lower slopes of the North Downs.

Mentioned in the Domesday Book, it is known as “Lovelace Village”, after the renowned Lord Lovelace, due to the quality of his local architecture from the mid-Victorian era. There are a number of other distinctive houses from the 1920’s & 30’s built by Frank Chown, another respected architect.

Historic Restrictive Covenants on development, meaning a higher proportion of detached housing, have created some of the most expensive property in Surrey, but there are still homes available for those on a more modest budget.
