Offering a decent commute to the capital of 40 minutes, means you not only get the opportunity to live in a stunning area, but the cost of living in Godalming is also cheaper when you ditch the London postcode.

Services provide links to most large towns and cities in the region whilst the A3/M25 motorways offer direct access to London by road (38 miles).
Sitting in the affluent county of Surrey the town straddles the Rive Wey. It is one of several highly desirable locations within Surrey’s borders. From Godalming, you can explore the great outdoors in the county’s many beautiful green spaces and parks. Wander the ancient streets and you will find that the town has around 230 listed buildings, including Tudor timber framing and lots of examples of 17th century brickwork. Little winding lanes in the town centre are lined with these historical old buildings.
The local village green is a focal point where summer cricket games entice residents to get together and socialise. Whilst plenty of independent shops provide an interesting array of stores in which to shop. Godalming lays along the Wey Path, a riverside route, so if you are feeling energetic, you can actually cycle all the way into central London to the Thames, without touching any roads.
