I love the area however I do wish that the short cut route to the station would be opened up sooner as this is quite key for residents. I also think the sales office (which will eventually be a community centre) could have been better used being a small shop. The development its quite set back so you are not walking distance from shops so having a local option would have been great. Th development is surrounded by lots of green space and feels very calming and godalming itself is lovely.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The loft not being usable. We actually only found out that we could not use the loft on our completion day. This was disappointing as not only does it limit storage but it was actually used as a selling point to us so seemed a bit deceitful.

What is the best feature of your home:

practical storage spaces, the house feels like it was designed with you in mind, very practically built to fit normal life, with linen cupboards, fitted wardrobes, large under stairs cupboards, a good amount of wall outlets and lighting.

Godalming station is a 15 minute walk; town centre in 20 minutes. Loads of shops and restaurants.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The location of the water meter. This wasn’t covered in the handover, and as I purchased a flat, they’re all clustered together and took a while to identify mine.

What is the best feature of your home:

It would have to be the ensuite bathroom, just finished a high quality and the shower is amazing.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

It is well located within walking distance from the train station and town centre and, at the same time, right by lovely countryside walks.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

We were told that there were really strict checks from the Southern Housing Group Limited before they let people moving in into their properties. We are having issues with a particular house and the Southern Housing Group Limited does not seem to take us seriously. The police have been really good at it but at the end of the day, the ones with the power are the Southern Housing Group Limited.

What is the best feature of your home:

The house is well laid out. The spaces are big enough and there is plenty of light.

Great location, easy links to the high street and train station. Love the fact that it’s situated in a semi rural setting.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Southern Housing Group. Wished I had known the extent of this group

What is the best feature of your home:

Clever design that really works for modern day living

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Godalming is a fantastic town for families. The high street is quaint and has lots of shops. There are cafe’s and some good pubs but we would like a few more individual restaurants/brunch places etc. we love the greenery and how close it is with lovely walks everywhere. Aaron’s hills does have some ASB from the estate behind, we have had no problems however there has been recent vandalism and loud gatherings till late in the skate park etc. we love how quick it is to London.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Reserve now if unsure, prices rising continually and can always retract.

What is the best feature of your home:

Love the open space in the kitchen. The under stairs cupboard is a god send.
