Latest house prices for Wraysbury, Staines-Upon-Thames

Wraysbury sits in a unique pocket of the Thames Valley, physically defined by the water that surrounds it. Located between the northern bank of the River Thames and the vast Colne Valley gravel pits that have since matured into a network of sailing and diving lakes, the village feels more secluded than its proximity to the M25 and Heathrow might suggest. It has a long history, most notably as a likely site for the sealing of the Magna Carta at Ankerwycke, where a 2,500-year-old yew tree still stands on the opposite bank from Runnymede. Practically speaking, the village is split by the railway line, served by two stations on the Windsor-to-Waterloo line, which makes it a functional base for those working in London or nearby Staines. Life here tends to revolve around the village green and the various windmills and watercourses that crisscross the landscape, offering a surprisingly quiet, riparian character within one of the busiest corners of the Home Counties.
