St. Andrews Gardens, Cobham, KT11

Situated in a cul-de-sac within a modern development off Portsmouth Road, this three-bedroom house offers a quiet residential setting with the convenience of Cobham High Street just a short walk away. With no through traffic, it has the ease and practicality that modern families look for.

Just a few minutes’ walk from the house is Old Common, a stretch of historic woodland that brings a sense of nature right to the edge of the village. It is the sort of place you can escape to for dog walks, bike rides or a peaceful stroll beneath the trees. The seasons transform it, with bluebells carpeting the ground in spring, shaded trails in summer, and a blaze of colour through autumn.

Cobham High Street itself is full of life, with a mix that makes it both useful and enjoyable day to day. Coppa Club with its rooftop terrace and dining pods is a popular spot, while The Ivy, A Casa and Grappelli are favourites for dinner. Fego is always buzzing at the weekend for coffee and brunch, and The Bear, tucked further along the street, is a go-to for garden drinks. The Fairmile pub, just outside the centre, even hosts a monthly vintage sports car meet, adding to the village’s character.

Everyday shopping is well covered, with Gail’s Bakery, Cobham Delicatessen, a long-standing family butcher, the independent Cobham Bookshop and Farrants, an all-round store for stationery, toys and gifts. A large Sainsbury’s is close by, and for more serious shopping Kingston and Guildford are both an easy drive.

The house itself has a bright, modern layout. The ground floor centres on an open-plan living and dining area with French doors opening directly onto the garden, making it a sociable space that works as well for family meals as it does for entertaining. The kitchen is neatly fitted, the garden has both patio and lawn plus handy rear access, and at the front there is off-street parking for up to three cars.

Upstairs there are two double bedrooms and a further single room that works equally well as a study or guest room. The main bedroom has its own en suite shower room, while a modern family bathroom serves the rest of the floor.

Transport connections are excellent, with Cobham & Stoke d’Abernon station offering direct services to London Waterloo in around 38 minutes and Esher station giving even faster options. The A3 and M25 are minutes away for quick routes to Heathrow, Gatwick and the south coast.

Families are especially drawn to the area for its schools. Cobham Free School, both primary and secondary, is highly sought after, while ACS International, Notre Dame, Reed’s and Danes Hill all offer strong private options nearby.

Leisure choices are plentiful. Beyond Old Common there is Painshill Park, with its 18th-century landscaped gardens and seasonal events, as well as Oxshott Heath, Esher Common and RHS Wisley Gardens. For fitness and sport there is David Lloyd in Weybridge, Cobham Rugby Club and Silvermere Golf.

Altogether, this is a house that combines a quiet cul-de-sac setting with walkable access to village life. With three bedrooms, open-plan living, a garden, parking and green space close at hand, it offers a lifestyle that continues to make Cobham one of Surrey’s most desirable places to live.
