New Homes in Surrey

Make the move

Located in South East England, Surrey is made up of villages, towns and lovely countryside. A short distance from London, it’s an ideal commuter town and buying a new home in Surrey is a great choice.

Things to see and do

Surrey is filled with historic sites and attractions, as well as lovely countryside and great shopping.

History fans will enjoy vising Runnymede National Trust, where the sealing of the Magna Carta took place on the ancient ‘meeting meadow’ in 1215. Walk in the steps of King John and take in the lovely meadows, explore the various historical monuments or cross the river to Ankerwycke. Here you’ll find the last remains of a Benedictine Priory, and an old Yew Tree that’s been standing for 2,500 years.

The works of painter G.F Watts can be seen at the Watts Gallery in Guildford, and you can also visit Loseley Park. From here you’ll be able to enjoy views of the North Downs, wander around the walled garden, and admire the old house, which was built in the reign of Elizabeth I.

For something a little different, Denbies Wine Estate is a great day out. While you may mistake the area for Tuscany, England’s largest single estate vineyard holds over 200 acres of vines, and allows you to tour the wine making process.

Adventurous types will enjoy visiting the Wild Wood Adventure in Guildford, where a challenging treetop course will see you tackle ropes, zip wires and bridges. More family fun can be had at two of the UK’s theme parks – Chessington World of Adventure and Thorpe Park.

Shopping can be found at many locations around Surrey, and food lovers will enjoy picking up fresh local produce at one of the many farmers’ markets. Byfleet, Cobham, Camberley and Epsom are just a handful of the many areas around the county that showcase the region’s local produce.
