Ashley Park, Walton-on-Thames
Private estate just off the high street and short stroll to the Thames and marina.
Ashley Park is an exclusive, private gated estate with number plate recognition located in Walton-on-Thames, situated near the prestigious Burwood Park and St George’s Hill estates. Originally a grand country estate with a stately home, expansive grounds, and medieval or manorial roots, Ashley Park has a rich history. Over the centuries, it was owned by several notable families, including the Fletchers and the prominent Sassoon family.
There are even historical ties to the poet Siegfried Sassoon. The original estate house was demolished in the early 1920s, and the land was gradually developed, particularly during the inter-war period into the leafy, low-density residential area seen today.
The estate still bears the architectural and spatial imprint of its grand past. Street names such as Silverdale Avenue and Ashley Avenue, along with remnants of carriageways, entrance gates, boundary walls, and mature planting, evoke the estate’s heritage. Housing is strictly low-density, with covenants in place requiring only detached homes on generous plots. Many of the houses were built in the inter-war period and feature architectural influences from the Arts and Crafts movement, lending a distinctive and elegant character to the area.
Ashley Park benefits from excellent connectivity. Walton-on-Thames mainline station is just a short walk away, offering fast and frequent services into London Waterloo in around 25 to 30 minutes, making it ideal for commuters. By car, the A3 and M25 (Junction 10) are within a 10-minute drive, providing convenient access to central London and the wider Surrey region.
The estate is also well located for leisure and amenities. It adjoins or sits close to several open green spaces, including the Ashley Park cricket ground, and is only moments from the River Thames and Walton Marina. The nearby town centre of Walton offers a broad mix of shops, restaurants, bars, and the popular Heart shopping centre. A wide range of recreational opportunities is available in the surrounding area, from river-based activities to nearby golf courses such as Burhill, St George’s Hill, and Wentworth, along with arts venues and private clubs.
Families are drawn to Ashley Park not only for its tranquillity and elegance but also for its proximity to a number of highly rated schools, both state and independent. The location also places residents within easy reach of other sought-after Surrey towns including Esher, Weybridge, and Cobham, each offering further amenities and lifestyle appeal.
