Vendors Notes

"We loved living at Blaybourne. It is full of light, welcome and warmth. The sense of flowing spaces reflects the skills of the local architect who was also the previous resident. He cleverly integrated technical excellence with historical references. West Wickham had attracted us but exceeded our expectations of cultural and social activities in such a small village. As so eloquently recorded in the monthly 'Village Voice' (tip: See the nature pieces), these include: The Historical Society, the Gardening and Badminton Clubs, the spacious allotments, the children's playground, an indoor bowling group may still exist, friendly Church-life. There are many social occasions such as Coffee Mornings in the Community Hall where there are also martial arts classes and numerous gatherings for both children and adults to have fun and enjoy good conversation. Nearby villages such as Balsham and Linton, both with schools, are similarly lively hubs. Should you come to live in West Wickham you're sure to meet some delightful folks, not least among the charming and very helpful neighbours."
