As the world’s biggest football tournament gets underway, we’re taking a look at a different kind of dream team. It’s a collection of Surrey homes with the sort of facilities that would impress even the most demanding professional athlete.
Surrey has long been one of the most sought-after locations for footballers, thanks to its blend of luxury living, privacy and convenience. Prestigious private estates including St George’s Hill, The Crown Estate, Burwood Park and Wentworth have attracted sporting stars for decades. In addition, Chelsea’s world-class training ground in nearby Cobham keeps many players close to the action.
With Chelsea beginning a new era under new management, there may soon be a few fresh arrivals searching for a Surrey postcode. And while Ted Lasso’s AFC Richmond may only exist on our television screens, we’re fairly certain the fictional manager would approve of a few of these properties. The only thing missing from some of them is a “Believe” sign above the gym door.
From private leisure complexes and indoor pools to tennis courts, gyms and acres of grounds, these are the homes that deserve a place in our starting eleven.
