CLOCKWISE FROM FAR LEFT: CUDDINGTON GOLF COURSE; HOME IN BURDON LANE, CHEAM; THAI VILLA; VIEW FROM WHIN COP; WALTON HEATH; WHIN COP.
Two of the Surrey’s finest venues can be found on the
semi-rural borders of Sutton and Banstead close to the A217. Cuddington Golf Club, which features 18 holes originally designed by Harry Colt in 1928, now boasts the latest specification tees and greens and a magnificent refurbished clubhouse with spectacular panoramic views of London and Surrey. Residents of Golf Side, which adjoins the course, include the
owners of the “Thai Villa” (pictured top right), a stunning residence being offered for sale by Mayfair Partner Christies of Cheam, full details of which can be found on page 14. A short drive (and a 9-iron) down the road is the wonderful Banstead Downs Golf Club – 18 holes of rolling downland golf with breathtaking views over the London landscape, including the stunning Shard. An exclusive opportunity to buy a brand new luxury home backing onto the course has just become a reality for anyone lucky enough to purchase the stunning “Whin Cop” in The Drive (above bottom left). This magnificent Regency-style home is spread over 7,600sq/ft and has been built to luxury high-end specifications throughout. It is also being offered for sale by Christies, for further details on this property see page 15. There is no doubt it must be a wonderful experience to live in a beautiful home overlooking your favourite golf course.
However, it also provides a wise investment for buyers, as Christies director Jeremy Richardson explains: “There will always be a regular flow of discerning purchasers and enthusiastic golfers who want to enjoy life by the course – for this reason alone you can be safe in the knowledge you have made a wise investment. “Most recently we sold a beautiful home in Burdon Lane,
Cheam, which is adjacent to Banstead Downs Golf Club. Our client is the lady captain of the club who enjoyed many happy years in her idyllic location and we are confident the new owners will too!” (See above top left.) For those with families, golf in Surrey can be a wonderful
experience for youngsters, especially if you happen to be one of the winners of the Surrey Junior Knockout Competition held at Laleham Golf Club near Chertsey, which is organised by the Surrey County Golf Union and sponsored each year by Christies. “As well as being golf lovers ourselves, we firmly believe golf instils good values and helps the development of young people, which is why we continue our support of tournaments such as the Surrey Junior Knockout,” Richardson says. Golf is often described as “a game for a lifetime” and if you’re
fortunate enough to also own a home near your favourite course it will be a lifetime of happiness.
