Surrey's protected landscape, village by village

The Surrey Hills is not a single town but a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty stretching across the county's central spine — from Box Hill and Ranmore in the east to Hascombe, Chiddingfold and the greensand ridge in the west. It takes in some of the prettiest and most protected villages in the Home Counties: Shere, Peaslake, Holmbury St Mary and Abinger among them.

Buyers come to the Surrey Hills for the landscape itself — protected, largely unbuildable, and unlikely ever to change — and for the particular kind of privacy that comes with living inside it.

W H Y B U Y E R S M O V E H E R E

Protected countryside, on London's doorstep

Walking and riding country

The North Downs Way and hundreds of miles of bridleway and footpath run through the area, making it one of the most popular outdoor destinations within reach of London

Village life

Shere, Peaslake and Holmbury St Mary each retain their own shop, pub and community, despite sitting only minutes from Guildford, Dorking or Godalming.

Protected landscape

As an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Surrey Hills carries strong planning protection — a guarantee buyers increasingly value that the view from their garden will not change.

Villages of the Surrey Hills

Shere

Widely considered one of the prettiest villages in England, and correspondingly in demand.

Peaslake

A walkers' and cyclists' village on the edge of Pitch Hill, with a strong sense of community and excellent access to the Downs.

Holmbury St Mary & Friday Street

Deeply rural hamlets set among woodland, offering some of the area's most private and secluded houses.

Abinger & Abinger Common

Period houses and working farms set along the Tillingbourne valley, within easy reach of Dorking and Guildford.

What you will find here

Housing across the Surrey Hills is overwhelmingly period — cottages, farmhouses and former mill buildings, alongside a smaller number of substantial country houses set in significant land.

Around £2m to £3m buys a well-proportioned village house or small country home; above £4m, the area offers genuine country houses with land, particularly around Holmbury St Mary and Abinger, where privacy and acreage are at their greatest.
