Spring is here – it’s time to go house hunting!
Lawns have been mowed, the
evenings are lighter, and spring bulbs are in full bloom. It’s no wonder that
this time of year tends to be one of our busiest.
Sellers in Cranleigh and the
surrounding villages are keen to showcase their homes when their gardens are
looking fresh and green. And they won’t be disappointed, because we have no
shortage of house-hunters on our books, with first-time buyers, families and
down-sizers all hoping to find the perfect home in 2018.
Now that the clocks have gone
forward, early evening viewings are a far more enticing prospect. Curtains are
wide open and it’s possible to get a proper feel for the light and space within
a home. Viewing after work is also helpful in terms of getting a sense of the
area: if you’re worried about possible road noise, between 5pm and 6pm is when
traffic tends to be at its peak.
Here at Roger Coupe, our office
has been very busy with enquiries from potential vendors and buyers, and we’ve
been out and about valuing a huge variety of properties in the Cranleigh area.
Some of our latest to go on the market include a superb four-bedroom
detached home with potential to extend on Bloxham Road, Cranleigh, and a spacious family house on
Woodlands Close on the eastern edge of the village. Click here to see all the homes currently on the market with Roger
Coupe.
April events to savour
Wine lovers take note! On
Saturday 28th April Cranleigh Village Hall is hosting an English
Wine Fair from 5pm to 9pm. This unique event showcases award winning English
wines from local vineyards and beyond, including Bolney, Black Dog Hill and
High Clandon. Organised by Cranleigh Lions, tickets cost £10 in advance or £15
on the door.
For the green-fingered among our
community, the Spring Garden Show at Loosely Park is a highlight of the
calendar. Just a few miles from Cranleigh, Loosely Park is a great place to
visit for all the family. The garden show, which runs from Friday 20th
April to Sunday 22nd April, will feature plant sales, garden
bygones, equipment and furniture, driftwood sculpture and food stalls.
If organised events are not your
thing and you prefer to be in the midst of nature, the countryside around
Cranleigh is known for its beauty and tranquillity. Any number of public
footpaths criss-cross this area, making it perfect for dog walks, relaxed
strolls or day-long hikes.
