Bookham

Bookham provides a plentiful range of family accommodation to a flourishing community attracted by the schools, leisure facilities and the ability to live a semi-rural life with good accessibility to commute to London.

Great Bookham has a thriving high street with traditional, independent retailers including butchers, fishmongers, greengrocers, bakers and a hardware store. These are mixed with artisan and lifestyle shops and cafes, whilst the villages are also home to local pubs and restaurants.

Bookham and Fetcham have a mix of accommodation from small flats to detached homes with gardens, with the balance weighted towards four bedroom and larger village properties, making the area popular with young families and couples.

Great Bookham adjoins Fetcham village to the east and Little Bookham borders Effingham to the west. These Surrey villages each have their own character, and local high streets, pubs, restaurants, open spaces and conservation areas.

Bookham and Fetcham are well known for the excellent schooling options, with buyers particularly attracted by the Howard of Effingham School, on the border of Little Bookham and Effingham, and the local primary and junior schools which feed into this respected co-educational secondary school and sixth form with academy status. The private schools in the area also attract home buyers to Bookham, including Manor House School, a selective independent day school for girls located in Little Bookham, St Teresa’s School for girls in Effingham and St John’s School, leading co-educational independent day and boarding school in nearby Leatherhead.
