An island enclave in the heart of SurreyA unique collection of waterside apartments and townhouses

Cross over old Hipley Bridge and enter a

different world: silent ponds, rippling brooks

and gushing streams all punctuate these

stretches of the River Wey water meadows.

Swans glide effortlessly beneath cascading

willow branches while ducks, coots and

moorhens make their home among the reeds

around the banks of the millpond, before the

water rushes over the weir.

Amid this unique setting of blissful tranquillity,

a rare opportunity has emerged: behind the

lovingly refurbished façade of the old Gresham

print works, Linden Homes has created a

stunning collection of 70 apartments and

18 townhouses, with views over water or

beautifully landscaped gardens and exclusive

access to the 7.4 acre estate.

An idyllic setting: rising above the waterline, the elegant profile of the old brick printing works is as unexpected as it is inspiring.

With water flowing through the weir at up

to 40 miles per hour, it was inevitable that

the site should be used for a watermill. First

mentioned as far back as the Domesday

Survey, a large mill is shown here on a tithe

map of the 1840s and by 1894 the site was

known as Woking Paper Works Ltd.

In 1896, Unwin Brothers Ltd (The Gresham

Press) arrived in leafy Surrey. Established

in London by Jacob Unwin in 1826, this

family-run printing company prospered during

the 19th century. While Jacob died at the

early age of 52, his sons George and Edward

continued in their father’s footsteps, moving

the firm to larger premises in 1871. After

further significant growth, third generation

George Soundy Unwin relocated to a new site

where the facilities were purpose-built for the

company: the Saint Martha Printing Works

(now Gresham Mill).

Pioneering electricity production using water

turbines, and early adopters of iron presses

and Monotype Compositors, Unwins thrived

at Saint Martha’s, only leaving in 2007 due to

a merger with another print works. After over

a century of printing, bustling presses have

finally stopped; now the tranquillity of the site

can fully be appreciated.

An illustrious history

Surrounded by the beauty of nature, part of

a thriving community, Gresham Mill is the

ultimate escape from the relentless pace

of modern life. Here, behind the attractive

Dutch gabled façade, contemporary two

and three bedroom homes nestle peacefully

within the rich, unspoiled landscape. Cattle

grids, the long private driveway and discreet

Impeccably crafted

fencing around the development – not to

mention the formal gardens – all create

the unmistakable impression of living on

a country estate. There are 70 apartments

available, all with views over the water or

gardens, while the eight two-bedroom and

ten three-bedroom townhouses have private

driveways and rear gardens.

Whether nestled behind the existing

architecture or a resolutely new creation,

each apartment offers contemporary

layouts, generous living spaces and elegant

proportions. Fully glazed doors open onto

balconies and terraces, while every apartment

comes complete with dedicated parking.

Airy, light-filled living areas come as standard

in every Gresham Mill townhouse, with higher

than average ceilings creating an impressive

sense of space. Whether two or three bedroom

homes, their enclosed gardens and private

driveways offer enhanced seclusion and

personal space.

Imaginatively planned apartments and townhouses offer the ultimate in style

With an ancient castle, a modern cathedral and cobbled streets in

abundance, Guildford is a little more than the typical market town.

Named as one of the top ten places to live in the UK, it combines

historic architecture – from chocolate-box almshouses to the imposing

Tudor Guildhall – with traditional teahouses, superb shopping and an

eclectic array of elegant restaurants and bars; almost every conceivable

luxury high street name has a presence here, while its quaint side streets

spill over with café seating and overflowing flower stalls.

A town with infinite possibilities

Nestling amidst the rolling Surrey hills, Guildford’s sophisticated charms lie

just six miles from Gresham Mill. As the county town, it is a prosperous

community with an enviable reputation as a desirable place to live.

Guildford also boasts abundant green areas, outstanding schools and a wide

selection of cultural and leisure facilities, including a choice of theatres,

galleries and cinemas, the Spectrum Leisure Centre and even a Lido.

There are delightful river walks and tree-lined parks, while the picturesque

canal plays host to everything from narrowboats to canoes.

Stay effortlessly in touchIn close quarters

Despite its tranquil atmosphere Gresham Mill is

surprisingly well connected. The A247 (Kingfield

Road) passes by the end of the private lane,

while the B382 (Old Woking Road) is nearby.

The busy town centre of Woking is just three

miles away, Guildford is under six miles and

Junction 11 of the M25, the M3 and the A3 are

all within a 15 minute drive.

Woking railway station is around 2.5 miles

from the site, offering direct mainline

services to both Waterloo and Paddington:

London Waterloo is the faster option, with

trains taking just 28 minutes at peak times.

There are bus services between Woking and

Guildford from Monday to Saturday, with bus

stops a short walk from the site.

For travel further afield, the site is located

approximately mid-way between London

Heathrow and Gatwick airports. Woking also

benefits from a direct coach-link service to

Heathrow, twice an hour throughout the day.

While Guildford might be where you ultimately

enjoy socialising and shopping, it’s worth

remembering the excellent amenities available

on your doorstep. There is a range of local

stores within a short distance of Gresham

Mill, including a butcher’s shop, off licence,

hairdresser’s and dry cleaner’s, while the village

has its own Sainsbury’s local store, less than half

a mile from the site (open from 7am-10pm).

There are also pubs and the London House

restaurant receives excellent reviews.

Woking has a wealth of shopping

opportunities at The Peacocks Centre and

Wolsey Place, and there is also a market open

daily and a monthly farmers’ market. There is

a Sainsbury’s superstore (as well as a Waitrose,

Morrisons and Budgens), within two miles of

the site. Culturally, the “birthplace of science

fiction” can also offer a multiplex cinema and

a major regional theatre for entertainment

whilst The Lightbox Arts Centre is proving

a popular attraction. There is also a superb

selection of restaurants, cafés and bars, and

excellent sports and leisure facilities.
