Living in Cranleigh

What's It Like To Live in Cranleigh?

A small village hidden amidst the stretched woodland of the North Downs; Cranleigh makes an effort to still look like a sleepy village even though it has so much to offer. Its typical Surrey Hills High Street begins to tell the story of how the local community here lives, with its litter free and picturesque views, you really get a sense of how everyone within the neighbourhood is proud of their village and wants to keep it looking as if it is in the middle of the countryside and not only a few miles away from a very busy town. Recent times has seen an influx of new people wanting to be involved within this community and with that has brought with it new facilities and shops, now offering the rural life but with facilities for the consumer age. With this, housing developments have started to pop up but sensible developer have taken the time and precaution to produce homes that bled with the traditional 15 century plots and not obviously new developments that would be seen in a busy city.

Entertainment and Shopping

With more people now calling the chocolate-box village of Cranleigh home, the High Street has started to claim a few well known convenience stores such as Sainsburys, Co-Op and Marks & Spencer but it has also managed to retain some of its originals such as Manns, which has lived on Cranleighs High Street since 1887. Dotted between these you will find the traditional tearooms and delicatessens and even a gun shop. On Fridays there is a busy market. Within the village there is the Cranleigh Arts Centre, which offers everything from film and music to an exhibition space and workshops, as well as a library, a leisure centre and swimming pool and the immaculate cricket pitch. If you would rather spend your hours tasting some of the local brews then the traditional pubs of The Three Horseshoes or the White Hart will be the best place to go. Alternatively, if you really need to feel the buzz or a busy town whilst you go about your shopping or want to hit a town with a vast array of multinational restaurants and nightclubs, then Guildford is only a few miles away and is easily accessible via A281 or on the bus marked with a 24 or a 25.

Transport Links

Cranleighs draw is the fact that it is peaceful and serene. With serenity comes no traffic. Guildford is only a short drive away via the A281 and from here you can have direct access to the A3 Eastbound (London) or Westbound (Portsmouth) and also the M25 offering possibilities on to every major road in the UK as well as the busy mainline train station directing you in the capital city in under 40 minutes.
