Curchods, Ottershaw
When the Curchods journey first began, we were determined never to be the subject of the horror stories so often told about estate agents. Our aim was to ensure we stood out in a world of service mediocrity, by providing outstanding customer care, quality professional advice and a determination to realise our clients' objectives. We understand the unique pressures of buying and selling property and are committed to making the transaction as smooth, fast and stress free as possible.
The responsibility of handling the sale or purchase of what is likely to be your most expensive asset and probably your best tax free investment opportunity, must be consigned to someone with integrity, who you can trust. As members of the National Association of Estate Agents and the Ombudsman for Estate Agents, we are bound by vigorously enforced Codes of Practice and professional Rules of Conduct. Our greatest asset is our reputation and we will never do anything to compromise our high ethical principles.
The first historical mention of Otreshagh (or Ottershaw) is in the charter of King Alfred to the monastery of Chertsey of c890. The name Ottershaw, came in to general use in the mid 19th century, when the present parish was formed from the hamlets of Chertsey Lane End, Brox and Spratts. Previous to this, "Ottershaw" only referred to the Ottershaw Park area. All the area was in Chertsey common and formed part of Windsor Forest, being the Royal hunting grounds.
In latter years, the village grew and prospered as a nursery and farming community.
Today, much of the area still retains its semi-rural ambience and village atmosphere. A unique feature to the area are the two residential private estates. Firstly, Ottershaw Park. The original James I mansion was demolished and replaced in 1909 by Mr Frederick Eckstein to the design of his architects, Niven & Wigglesworth in Grand Palladian style with a swimming pool set under a stone terrace. Today, the mansion has been converted into luxury apartments with breathtaking views over the adjoining countryside. In the grounds of the former estate, a number of substantial homes have been built bordered by banks of Rhododendrons and mature trees. The other estate of Anningsley Park is tucked away to the south east of the village being more semi-rural in appearance and easily missed for those unfamiliar with the surroundings.
With the arrival of the M25 motorway and junction 11 just 2 miles away, Ottershaw is now ideally placed for those requiring a fast access to other major road networks and both Heathrow and Gatwick airports. The comprehensive town centres of Weybridge & Woking are within a few miles providing good shopping and fast commuter services to London Waterloo.
Recreational facilities include Ottershaw's very own world renowned Golf & Country Club, Foxhills which offers excellent facilities including 2 championship standard golf courses, indoor and outdoor racquets courts and swimming pools, in addition to fine dining and hotel facilities.
