"Unexpectedly, Jeeves and Wooster author PG Wodehouse was born at 1 Vale Place, Epsom Road when he arrived ahead of schedule! His mother was visiting the area from Hong Kong where his father was a judge."

It's such a great escape from the bustle of London, with loads of green space around and a nice cosy atmosphere in the town.

Guildford Lido is always a winner, especially when the outdoor pool is open in the summer, and the Little Angels indoor play area is a great option for smaller kids. On top of this, there are also lots of country houses to explore and museums to visit.

We're surrounded by some fantastic pubs, including The Weyside next to the river in Guildford and The Percy Arms in Chilworth. For amazing views of Guildford and the North Downs, Thai Terrace is also a firm favourite.

What do you want from your ideal town? Great shops, theatre, countryside all around. Easy access to London by road or by rail And good links to motorways to take you further afield. A fine choice of schools from toddler to teen and a top university for the academically keen. A river, a castle, the Cathedral in view, cinema, hotels, a coffee shop or two. Live music and comedy, restaurants and pubs. A thriving market around the town's cobbled hub. A sports park and leisure centre for those in a hurry. It's all here in Guildford, the historic heart of Surrey. A vibrant gem of a town, with so much to give, no wonder I think it's such a great place to live.

Abbotswood is one of Guildford's premier residential estates. It covers an area of about 50 hectares about a mile to the north east of Guilford town centre close to the amenities of Stoke Park and Riverside Park and within walking distance of the Spectrum Sports Centre. The estate comprises about 80 detached properties on a mixture of private and public roads developed in the early part of the 20th century as a garden suburb in the Arts and Crafts Style by the notable local architect Alfred Claude Burlingham. The Estate has recently been designated a Conservation Area, standing out as significant due to the quality of its architecture, urban design and form, and its attractive setting within a mature wooded landscape.
