The Property The Vineyard is an outstanding example of a fine period barn, which we understand dates from 1887.

The property is ideal for entertaining, with a wonderful series of rooms and it can be noted on the floorplan that many of the internal doors are double, which open up to provide a continuous flow. Gardens and Grounds The property is approached across Horsell Common with substantial parking, either to the front of the house, or through electric gates in to the driveway. The house sits amongst beautiful but formal gardens with a high degree of privacy. The gardens are stocked with lavender and other mature draft pdf shrubs and trees and in addition there is a pond.

Earlier the London County Council’s Sheerwater Estate had linked up Woking and West Byfleet to the north of the railway, but to the south the West Byfleet Golf Course and the woodlands off Old Woking Road had managed to remain largely unspoiled (despite attempts by Woking and Wimbledon Council’s to acquire the Golf Course for housing in the early 1950’s). The Maybury Estate (which was given a Civic Trust award in 1960) did partially encroach on the woodlands of Pyrford in the mid 1950’s, but it was the development of the land at Norfolk Farm and the Pyrford Woods Estate (built by E & L Berg and Osterley Tudor Estates Ltd) that led to an almost continuous belt of housing on both sides of the Old Woking Road – albeit with a fair amount of mature trees remaining to Pyrford Woods (below), developed in the late 1950’s and early 60’s into the Pyrford Woods Estate disguise the developments. Osterley Estates were also busy building houses Indeed it seems from reading the minutes of building the Blackdown Hill Estate, and W & E on the ‘Wildwood Estate’ off Hacketts Lane, as the council’s planning committee that the land Simmons Ltd (of Walton) working on the well as building some of the numerous little on either side of the Old Woking Road, from Pyrford House Estate further up the road.

  • Horsell Common from the Fishpool
    wool point your feet on a new path Horsell Common from the Fishpool Heather Farm, Wetlands, Stanners Hill Distance: 11 km=7 miles easy walking Region: Surrey Date written: 2-feb-2020 Author: Botafuego Last update: 21-jun-2020 Refreshments: Heather Farm Map: Explorer 160 (Windsor) but the map in this guide should be sufficient Problems, changes? We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Long woodland trails, wetlands with boardwalks, lake, heath, grassy plains In Brief This is a fascinating walk of great variety, featuring long woodland trails, many of them unsigned, punctuated by some considerable surprises. The most notable of these is the Wetlands Centre where a boardwalk and good sandy paths keep you dry-shod, and where food and drink is available at the Heather Farm Café . There are no nettles and no troublesome undergrowth on this walk. Some of the paths on the north side are muddy in a wet winter but the lack of fencing means you can usually skip to either side. Provided you have good boots, you will enjoy this walk even (or especially) in winter. With very little road walking (and no stiles!), your dog will be very welcome on this walk. The walk begins at the Fishpool car park on Chobham Common, Surrey. The car park is just off The Gracious Pond Road. The not-very-near post- code is GU24 8HN , www.w3w.co/ mime.guards.candy , grid-ref: SU994636.

Surnames L-M Porter, Johanna From: Wayne Lamport < > Sent: 27 September 2014 08:05 To: Reviews@ Subject: Objection to Woking Boundary changes Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged To whom it may concern, I would like to express my objection to the draft changes to boundaries of Woking. I live in Hollies Ave in West Byfleet and under the new proposals, our road, together with Woodlands Ave and Old Ave would now come under the ward of Sheerwater. My objections are based on the following; I live approximately 800 yards from West Byfleet village/train station and under the draft proposals I will not be able to vote/have a say on matters affecting West Byfleet, which of course is totally unacceptable. The needs of the residents of Sheerwater are different to those of West Byfleet I chose to buy a house in West Byfleet, not Sheerwater and have invested a lot of money into my property and therefore I am concerned in house prices. As far as I know no‐one has undertaken any investigation on the possible effect of houses prices, again totally unacceptable. I do no believe the proposed re‐generation of Sheerwater has been taken into consideration when calculating ward sizes, therefore will totally skew the sizes of wards once the re‐generation is complete.
