“This is not a place for youngsters, but as a place to raise a family or enjoy a quiet life it's great. The village has great local shops and restaurants with the walled garden offering quiet solace and a nice slice of cake. It offers a good selection of Victoriana and 1930s housing, as well as a few new build properties but all built in keeping with the local area. We lived here for 10 years on Church Street, rented in Weybridge for 6 months and then returned as we preferred the local people and the quiet nature of the area. Even if I won the lottery I would just move to either the avenue or down to one of the houses on the Thames. This area is perfect.”

“In terms of local schools, for boys in particular, you are in a golden triangle of choice with Hampton, St James and Halliford all equidistant and accessible by the children on public transport. It's also an excellent place for children to grow up with access to tennis courts, good sports centres and swimming pools, local sailing and kayaking etc. Why anyone would choose Hampton over Sunbury astounds me - Hampton is overcrowded, noisy, with few facilities.......make your own choice, but do it over a glass in the Magpie by the river.”
