Lockerbie is situated in an attractive semi rural position with clear skies and is surrounded by fields. It is in a highly desirable road on the outskirts of Chertsey and has strangely been a popular haunt for many famous musicians over the years probably as it offers privacy and seclusion with country views, yet is extremely convenient for commuting to London or dashing to your Lear jet / helicopter at Heathrow approximately 10 minutes away or Fairoaks airport which is approximately 5 minutes away. There is excellent schooling in the area, both private and independent and two nearby international schools. It is also within easy reach of the local centres of Virginia Water, Chertsey, Ascot and Windsor which cater for day to day shopping requirements. Communications are excellent with the M25, M3 and M4 close by giving fast access to the motorway network, London, Heathrow and Gatwick. There are good train services from Chertsey into London (approx. 45 minutes) and there is racing at Ascot, Windsor and Polo at nearby Smiths Lawn. There are many fine golf courses in the area, in particular Wentworth and Sunningdale which are just a short drive from the property. Windsor Great Park is within easy reach as are the boating facilities in the River Thames.
