Valentine’s Day is all about love – for your partner, your family and even the place you call home. For many Londoners, city life starts out exciting but over time can feel increasingly cramped and crowded. That was certainly the case for Amy and Alexander Vickery, who spent several happy years in a Victorian apartment in West Putney before realising it no longer suited their growing family.
Amy said: “We loved our apartment, but as our family grew, it started to feel like we were constantly making compromises. We wanted more space, more calm and a home that could grow with us”.
If that sounds familiar, moving outside London could be the perfect way to rediscover space, freedom and a life you truly love.
- More space for family life
City apartments can feel cosy, until your family starts to grow. The Vickerys, after welcoming their first daughter and adopting a whippet, needed room to breathe. At Coppice Meadow, they found open-plan living, spacious bedrooms, a separate utility room and a south-facing garden, the perfect setting for family life and entertaining friends.
- Beautiful countryside on your doorstep
Imagine stepping out of your front door into woodland walks, quiet lanes and fresh air instead of traffic and bustling streets. From Haslemere to Headley, our developments across the south east offer peaceful, green surroundings that make every day feel like a mini escape.
- Community spirit that feels like home
Small towns and villages come with welcoming communities, local cafés, markets and events. Amy and Alexander didn’t know Haslemere before moving but quickly fell in love with the friendly atmosphere, something London can struggle to offer.
- Commuting without compromise
Worried about losing London connections? Developments like Headley Chase, near Epsom, make commuting easy. From here, you can reach London in less than an hour by train, giving you the perfect balance of countryside living and city access. Also, from Haslemere, homeowners can hop on a direct train to Waterloo in less than 60 minutes which is close by to our developments Coppice Meadow and Oakland Grove.
- A home that fits your life, not the other way around
Whether it’s a family-friendly larger home, an elegant two-bed or a property with a spacious garden, moving outside London lets you find a property that works for your lifestyle. No cramped apartments, no compromises, just a home you’ll love every day.
