Bustling county town

Guildford

 

Guildford is Surrey’s county town and a firm favourite with locals and visitors alike.

It’s one of the few large towns where it’s possible to stand in the cobbled High Street and see the rolling hills beyond.   With an excellent array of shops, restaurants, cafes, pubs and bars, Guildford has a lively buzz both day and night.

For house hunters, the mix of Victorian, Edwardian and Arts and Crafts houses offer buyers a choice of family homes in walking distance of both the town centre and the glorious countryside that surrounds the town, offering the best of both worlds.

Excellent rail links offer a fast and regular train service to London Waterloo in approximately 35 minutes, while the A3 offers fast access to London and Heathrow and Gatwick Airports.

Guildford is also home to some of the highest ranked independent schools in the country including Guildford High School and the Royal Grammar School whilst George Abbot and Guildford County School both offer outstanding secondary education in the state sector.
