Godalming

Godalming is a thriving market town in the GU7 postcode area, set on the River Wey just south of Guildford. Often described as England's first town to have a public electricity supply, it has a distinctive high street lined with timber-framed buildings, independent shops, cafes, and the historic Pepperpot at its centre. The town blends real history with everyday convenience.

The rental market in Godalming is among the busiest we cover. The town appeals to families, professionals, and downsizers, with everything from riverside apartments and Victorian terraces to larger detached homes in the surrounding lanes. Good schools, including Charterhouse nearby, and a wide choice of shops and restaurants keep tenant demand strong throughout the year.

Godalming's railway station is a major draw, with regular direct trains to London Waterloo in well under an hour. The A3 is close by for road journeys to Guildford, Portsmouth, and the wider south coast. For renters who want town amenities, green surroundings, and a reliable commute, Godalming is consistently one of the first places they ask about.
