About Long Common

Long Common house was built in the late 1950's and early 1960's by Sarah father, Lord Frank Taylor of Hadfield (FT), founder of the Taylor Woodrow house building and construction group.  The farm is situated 6 miles outside Guildford in a small village nestling on the edge of the Hog's back, part of Surrey Hills.  Originally the farm was about 1,000 acres but FT (pic leftt) retired from farming over 20 years ago and downsized to a more manageable 200 acres.  He also had a keen interest in horses so there are excellent Equestrian facilities. Sarah and David took over the property after FT''s death in 1995.

 Woodland makes up a large part of the estate and there is a plentiful supply of logs, which are sold directly to customers and to other local outlets such as farm shops and garden centres in the Guildford area.
