As Surrey Property Finding Agents we support our clients to find their perfect home in the vilages of the Surrey Hills and the surrounding area including the pituresque towns of Guildford, Godalming, Farnham and Haslemere.
Shere is arguably one of the most picturesque and "chocolate box" villages in Surrey. Rolling hills, vast green fields, a choice of country pubs, a strong sense of community, but all within 1h30 of London: It's no surprise that the village of Shere and the surrounding areas are popular with families and individuals looking to move to the Surrey countryside.
With stunning countryside quite literally on the doorstep, walkers and cyclists are spoilt for choice. Walking trails lead from the village to the iconic Newlands Corner and St. Martha's Hill and inviting dog-friendly cafes are well situated to welcome weary walkers back home. Shere offers an infant school, two cafes, a village store, two pubs, a restaurant and we musn't forget Shere Delights - the independent ice-cream shop situated opopsite the stream - perfect for a paddle in the sun!
Schools
Shere Infant School and Nursery caters for children aged two to seven with many children transitioning to partner school, Clandon CofE School for the junior years. There are also a number of excellent Independent Schools within close proximity to the village - including Duke of Kent School and St Teresa's School both within a 15 minute drive. The well-renowned Cranleigh Prep and Senior Schools are situated within 20 mins drive from Shere.
