Location for a home ~ Comment: Generally recommended, very attractive in parts

Watch out warnings:  A village grown large in recent years and now somewhat lacking in character

Present Day Aspect and Character


St Mary's Church

end is a large village which is essentially made up of recent decades' housing bordering the Woking-Clandon Road. The photographs chosen on this page show the prettiest views in the area, but are not typical of the rather more mundane central area. The few shops in the village and the recreation ground represent the modern centre of Send, but the more expected traditional centre, around the church, is in fact very remote.  At some distance to the south west St Mary's Church stands rather isolated with only one large house and farm forming the group.  However, this is a most attractive spot bordering the banks of the River Wey amidst rolling fields and it is certainly worth discovering.  


Sendcourt Farm, view from the church 

As a point of interest across the fields to the south are the grounds to Sutton Place, one of Surrey's most important historic houses, which also just happens to be over the Borough boundary in Woking.   To the north along Potters Lane there is further delightful countryside leading to Cartbridge where the A247 emerges to cross above the River Wey.   Mostly to the east of Send there are several inland lakes made out of disused excavation works, some have given way to the use of sailing clubs.  

This generally low lying area encourages a dampness of the land and the flat terrain here probably accounts for the name of Send's closest neighbour at Send Marsh.


The Manor House at Send Marsh

In Send Marsh to the north east of the main village is the majestic Manor House, a three-storey red brick 17th century property facing a tiny green and dwarfing other surrounding homes.
