Thought to tap into some advice on best thing to do. DH and I are currently renting in Guildford and looking to buy. We’ve lived in Guildford for about 2 years but not too familiar with surroundings apart from Guildford itself and Godalming.
I have the option of working in Guildford or London, and DH works in Reigate. We’ve been looking at places in between Guildford and Reigate – as well as up to Tunbridge Wells.
We ideally want a house with minimum 2 bed with a garden. Budget is tight at £325k. (Ideally £290k but I know this is pushing it).
We like the market town feel, cobbled streets, character building, pedestrianised area and it’s nice to just walk into town centre during weekends.
So far options are:
- Guildford outskirts
- Godalming outskirts
But are there better town options where we could buy in the town centre instead of outskirts?
We don’t have a busy nightlife and like the independent cafes. No kids yet so not too worried about schools and catchment area for now.
Many thanks in advance!
