Why wouldn’t you want to live at Longacre Rise, Bookham?
Latchmere Properties Limited, a family run Dorking property developer has been building quality homes in and around Surrey for over 50 years and is just coming to the completion of its most recent development Longacre Rise, off Woodlands Road in Bookham. Formerly a working farm for over sixty years, five family homes have been created, Cedar, Hawthorn, Elm, Dogwood and Birch House each named after native trees to be found in the landscaped gardens.
Interesting fact: As guests of Mrs Greville, the future King George VI and his bride, the Queen Mother, spent the first part of their honeymoon at Polesden Lacey, Great Bookham arriving at Bookham station on the evening of their wedding day.
The Houses are tucked away in a private leafy residential area with far reaching views of the countryside. These highly specified three and four bedroomed homes are a balance of traditional and modern architecture with generous sized south facing gardens all exceeding 60 feet in length. At the heart of the four-bedroom homes, the kitchens combine with a light filled orangery creating a wonderfully impressive family space. Set within a gated development, each of the houses has its own private driveway.
Another interesting fact: Jane Austen used to spend time with her godfather and cousin, the Reverend Samuel Cooke who was vicar of Great Bookham between 1769 and 1820 whilst writing several of her novels. Its location is consistent with the geographical details in Emma.
The Countryside is right on your doorstep. Surrounded by National Trust land, a short ten-minute walk will take you to the Polesden Lacey estate, excellent for dog walking, and having a well-earned cuppa! Or alternatively head for Bookham Common or the North Downs, an area of outstanding natural beauty.
Final interesting fact: Roger Waters, bassist and co-founder of Pink Floyd was born in Great Bookham in 1943. 
Bookham is a flourishing village and Latchmere Properties has returned to develop here again for good reason. Its thriving high street has traditional independent retailers including fishmongers, butchers, greengrocers, bakers and a hardware store, mixed with artisan shops, pubs and cafes. With good accessibility to London and Gatwick, excellent schooling options and nearby leisure facilities, this family-oriented village is a great place to live.
