Godstone
GODSTONE is right on the A25 with a one-way traffic system that turns the centre into a bottleneck when the M25 is jammed. It is no longer the rural backwater where William Cobbett spied double violets as large as small pinks, but it still has the neat gardens he admired, the green, the pond and the White Hart Inn where he stayed. A two-bedroom Victorian cottage in a quiet pocket at the centre might be priced at £235,000. A three-storey, four-bedroom cottage overlooking the green might cost £475,000.
