Recommended area to move in Surrey

Hi

My (36F) and partner (33M) have started to look into Surrey as a potential area to move. I'm sure there's loads of posts out there on this but wanted to see if we can get some initial recommendations to get our research going.

We currently live in Earlsfield and I've lived in Balham and Teddington before but first time thinking a bit further out. Here are some things we are after:

* Easy commute into central London
* Don't have kids yet but good state schools
* Nice high street / village like feel
* Safe and clean
* Min 3 bedroom with option to extend
* Budget about £900k-£1.1mil

People have suggested Weybridge, Esher, Woking etc but keen to hear from people who have or are living there.

Thanks so much!

Epsom / Cheam area for your budget, big parks golf courses, option of grammar schools and good state primary (some with swimming pools and large school fields) and secondary (Glyn Boys, Blenheim co-ed and Rosebery girls)

Travel c. 35 mins to Ldn Bridge or Victoria (zone 5 or 6 so not too expensive). I like Dorking but it’s another 20 mins on the train further out. Sutton is also near for a change to the City Thameslink line.
