The village of Warlingham is about 1 mile, with fast rail services to London and the South Coast, local shops, restaurants and supermarket. The pretty villages of Westerham, Brastead, Limpsfield and Oxted are all nearby.
There are plenty of stately homes and gardens to explore, all within easy driving distance, visit Chartwell (Sir Winston Churchill's family home), Hever Castle & Gardens (childhood home of Anne Boleyn), Leeds Castle (built on two islands in the middle of a natural lake), Penshurst Place or Hampton Court Palace. Days out at Epsom or Lingfield Park races, Chessington Zoo World of Adventure and Thorpe Park can be thoroughly enjoyed. Brighton and the South Coast can be reached in about one hour with a host of seaside activities and family attractions. Or head to Dover where a trip across the Channel to Calais can be made. Golf courses are abundant and horse riding can be arranged nearby. |
