Lovely 4 bed family home close to London

Our recently renovated, family friendly house is near many great places for family days out and activities, minutes from beautiful walking and cycling and situated short drives from towns such as Cobham, Oxshott, Esher, Epsom and Dorking all offering shopping and dining. A car is recommended.

We are approx. 30-40 minutes drive from both Heathrow and Gatwick. Our local station (Claygate) is a 35min train ride from central London. Arriving at Waterloo brings you straight to London's south bank and London Eye and Houses of Parliament and Big Ben.

About the location

Claygate is a charming small village surrounded by amazing countryside and yet is only short distances from nearby buzzing towns and tourist sites. We are a 15-20 minutes walk from a lovely children's playground and about 20-25 minutes walk from the village which has two coffee shops, bakery, newsagents etc. Also in the village are 2 lovely pubs (one with an outdoor play area) and 3 restaurants (Italian, Indian and Asian).
