Farnham — Georgian Market Town
Farnham’s Georgian town centre is one of the finest in the South East — Castle Street, Downing Street and the surrounding area are designated conservation areas with a high proportion of listed Georgian and Victorian buildings. External air conditioning equipment in the town centre conservation area requires careful positioning and listed building consent where applicable. The University for the Creative Arts brings a young professional population that adds rental market demand to the established affluent residential market.
Godalming — Surrey Hills Character
Godalming is a prosperous Surrey market town with a distinctive character and strong independent retail economy. The town’s historic centre and the Godalming and Farncombe conservation areas have planning considerations similar to Farnham. The surrounding area includes Milford, Witley and the villages of the Surrey Hills, which have a high density of premium country houses and converted properties.
Aldershot and Fleet — Nearby Markets
The towns of Aldershot and Fleet, to the west of Farnham near the Hampshire border, are also markets we cover. Aldershot has significant military housing alongside civilian residential areas. Fleet is one of Hampshire’s most desirable towns, with high property values and strong demand for domestic installations from its professional commuter population.
