Surrey’s secret commuter paradise

A £15 million town centre regeneration scheme combined with a 25 minute train ride to Waterloo is making Walton-on-Thames one of the most desirable commuter towns in Surrey.

A brand new designer shopping complex has given the town a cosmopolitan face lift which is drawing buyers from the more expensive surrounding towns. With a lack of supply in luxury accommodation in the area and a high demand, Ashley Mews, Antler Homes’ select development of just four townhouses, has the local agents and purchasers very excited.

Warren Fraser, partner at local estate agents Curchods, comments: “Ashley Mews is proving to be very popular as it is only 250 yards from the new high street. What’s more, the commute into London only takes 28 minutes: even less if you don’t count the walk to the station! The new shopping complex ensures that our town now competes with the likes of Esher and Cobham and property prices will start reflecting that soon. There are very few new houses of this calibre being built in Walton-on-Thames and these properties are filling a void in the area for high specification, that is centrally located.”

John Taylor, Sales and Marketing Director, Antler Homes Southern, comments: “Ashley Mews epitomises the Antler Homes ethos of building high quality, bespoke homes in sought after locations. Walton-on-Thames is a fantastic commuter town, as buyers can appreciate the rural views and waterside location, whilst being half an hour from central London.”

Ashley Mews comprises four four-bedroom townhouses on Ashley Road. These stunning properties have been sensitively designed and reflect the local vernacular by incorporating Tudor timber features and Neo-Georgian circular windows. The building itself has a contemporary double cross gabled roof and extensive glazing, which is balanced with rustic motte brick and slate style roof tiles.

Each property incorporates a luxury custom built kitchen with granite worktops and appliances which include a Siemens stainless steel gas hob, a Siemens stainless steel double oven, a Siemens microwave, an integrated fridge/freezer, an integrated dishwasher and an integrated washing machine (in selected homes). Each house has a contemporary open plan kitchen dining area, which is ideal for socialising and entertaining.

Walton-on-Thames is now home to numerous high street fashion shops and trendy cafés and restaurants in The Heart, a brand new, multi-million pound shopping centre. Weybridge, Chertsey and Esher, just a few miles from the development, provide residents with additional shopping or dining choices. Trains to London Waterloo from Walton-on-Thames train station run regularly and take approximately 25 minutes.*

Prices start from £775,000 for a four bedroom townhouse. For further information visit the website: Antlerhomes.co.uk.
