Officially the “Nicest Town in Surrey” (according to The Times), Farnham is picture perfect with attractively preserved Georgian townhouses, half-timbered and Queen Anne cottages, the remains of a 12th-century castle, and bow-fronted shops to delight the eye. But the beauty of Farnham is more than just skin deep. With a range of Ofsted-rated “good” and “excellent” schools, excellent transport links, and access to unspoilt countryside in minutes, Farnham has become popular with London and north Surrey commuters.
Surrounded by stunning countryside (much of which is owned by the National Trust), Farnham is the perfect spot for people who love walking and riding. Outdoor pursuits are abundant in Farnham, with golf clubs, a cricket club and 320 acres of park to enjoy (Farnham Park provides stunning views of the local area). Alice Holt Forest is also nearby with a visitor centre, an activity centre, Go Ape, trails, and much more. And the town is home to Birdworld, a 26-acre attraction with over 180 species from around the world.
People who prefer a slightly busier pace of life won’t be disappointed in Farnham either. A place of contrasts, Farnham offers a lively town centre with many shops, galleries, restaurants, cafes, and pubs (independent and chain) to enjoy. There are also plenty of markets, festivals, and literary events in this creative town. In addition, the Farnham Maltings community arts venue attracts local, national, and international visitors.
Well-connected in terms of transport links, half-hourly trains to Waterloo will get you to London in around an hour. Farnham is also within easy reach of the M3 and M25, and is just 45-60 minutes from Heathrow or Gatwick. So, the affluent town of Farnham has a lot to offer when it comes to doing business. Farnham is also a great place to live. In early 2022, Rightmove named Farnham one of the UK’s ten property hotspots after a 22% increase in house prices.
Big names such as Sainsbury’s, Homebase, Waitrose, David Lloyd gym, Southco and Kinetrol operate in the town, alongside a healthy mix of independent retailers.

Costs for website design Farnham services
No matter the size of your business, or the sector you operate in, a high-performing website is essential. But, with different Farnham web design agencies offering very different price points, how much should you budget for your business website?
Unfortunately, there is no set answer to this question. You can probably get up and running for very little if you want a cheap web design Farnham that uses an off-the-shelf template. But this could be a false economy. Today, most businesses rely on their online presence to generate sales (and the pandemic accelerated this), but standing out can be tricky with so much competition. So it has never been more important to invest in your online presence. A cheap, templated website simply won’t cut it. While a low up-front cost might tempt you, you could end up paying the price if your new site doesn’t deliver for your business.
At MagnifyLab, we might not be the cheapest web developers in Farnham, but when you work with us, we won’t give you a site that looks like everyone else’s. Instead, we’ll create an original, fully responsive website that delivers a return on your investment. With prices starting from just £2,500, contact our team for a custom quotation.
