Why Send, Surrey, Should Be Your Next Home

Blog | 3 Mar 2025

If you're searching for a place that perfectly balances the serenity of village life with the convenience of modern amenities, then look no further than Send. This picturesque village is one of Surrey’s best-kept secrets, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle, yet with all the essentials right at your doorstep.

Whether you're downsizing, looking for a family-friendly environment, or simply craving a more rural lifestyle, Send has something for everyone. Here are four reasons why making Send your home might just be the best decision you make.

1. Top-Notch Schools and Convenient Amenities

When it comes to families, Send ticks all the right boxes. The local schools, like Send Church of England Primary, are highly regarded, with the school rated "Good" by Ofsted. For families with younger children, the nursery is a great option too! And if you're looking for more options, nearby Woking boasts Hoebridge School, an independent pre-prep and preparatory school for children aged 3-13.

But it’s not just the schools that make Send an ideal place for families. The village has all the essential amenities you'll need, from local shops and a post office to a handful of friendly cafés and pubs. 

2. Fantastic Transport Links

Don’t let Send’s peaceful atmosphere fool you—it’s well-connected! While you can enjoy the quiet village life, you’re close to larger towns, where you’ll find a variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options. A short drive to Guildford makes commuting a breeze, whether you’re heading to work, meeting friends, or just exploring more of the area.

And for those working in London, Send offers excellent transport links. With direct services from nearby stations like Clandon and Woking, you can reach the heart of the city in no time at all. The best of both worlds, indeed!

3. A Rich Tapestry of History and Natural Beauty

Step into Send, and you’ll feel the weight of history around you. With roots stretching back to the Domesday Book, Send is full of charming historical landmarks like St. Mary’s Church, where you can appreciate not only the architecture but also the sense of community and heritage that defines the village.

Nature lovers will also find plenty to enjoy in Send. The surrounding countryside, including Send Marsh and the River Wey, offers peaceful spots to unwind and take in the scenery. For those who love a bit more adventure, Papercourt Lake is the perfect place for a relaxing picnic, or even some quiet fishing. And if you’re an outdoor enthusiast, the nearby North Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers miles of walking, cycling, and horse-riding trails.

4. Community Spirit at Its Best

One of the most enchanting aspects of life in Send is the community spirit. The village is full of life, with regular events at places like the Send Village Hall, which hosts everything from craft fairs to seasonal festivals. There's always something going on, and it’s a great opportunity to meet your neighbours and get involved.

When you’re in the mood for a drink or a hearty meal, places like The New Inn and The Saddlers Arms serve up everything from traditional British fare to more contemporary dishes. It's the perfect place to get to know your neighbours and make lasting friendships.
