ThamesWey’s most advanced development to date, The Reeds brings 77 spacious family homes to Sheerwater. Each home is powered by its own solar panels and air source heat pump, and each is built to the highest possible EPC A rating.
Homes Designed for Modern Family Life
The Reeds offers a mix of two, three, four and five-bedroom homes, available at both full market and affordable rent rates, reflecting ThamesWey’s consistent commitment to tenure diversity within its developments.

Sustainability Built In
As standard across the entire development every property features:
Individual air source heat pump (no gas)
Individual solar photovoltaic panels, generating renewable energy for the household

A private EV charging point
A Setting that Supports Community
Bordering the Basingstoke Canal, The Reeds benefits from landscaped communal grounds and a dedicated children’s play area, offering families genuine access to green space and a strong sense of community.

Every home is triple-glazed, connected to the district heat network, and finished to a clean, contemporary specification. Most apartments also benefit from a private balcony or terrace.

The classic London mews house has long been one of the city’s most desirable property types. Pine Grove brings that same character and considered design to Woking.
Launched in March 2024, Pine Grove comprises ten contemporary mews houses – nine three-bedroom homes (approx. 107 sq m) and one two-bedroom home (approx. 91 sq m), arranged in two neat rows with striking red brick facades and a specification that stands apart in the local rental market.
Thoughtful, Modern Layouts
The three-bedroom homes are arranged over two floors:
Ground Floor: covered carport with two parking spaces and EV charging, cloakroom, first bedroom and kitchen.
First Floor: vaulted-ceiling living room, master bedroom with ensuite, third ensuite bedroom, and a generous private terrace.
The two-bedroom home follows the same design principles, with two uncovered parking bays.
The vaulted first floor living space is a standout feature – bright, spacious, and genuinely distinctive for a rental home.
Sustainable Design
Every Pine Grove home includes:
Air source heat pump (no gas)
Triple-glazing
EPC B or C ratings
EV charging built into every carport
A sustainability specification well ahead of the rental sector norm.

Seven homes. One with two bedrooms and six with three bedrooms. Vaulted ceilings, skylights, and private balconies – all in a purpose-built rental setting. Guild Lodge is intentionally different.
Launched in January 2024, Guild Lodge offers something rarely found in the rental market: the space, character and specification of a high-quality house, designed from the ground up for modern renters.
Thoughtfully Designed, Split-Level Living
Each three-bedroom maisonette is arranged across two floors.
Ground Floor: entrance hallway, two bedrooms and a family bathroom – a practical layout that keeps sleeping areas private.
Upper Floor: a dramatic open-plan kitchen, dining and living space with a vaulted ceiling, integrated skylights, and direct access to a private balcony. In the 3-bedroom maisonettes, here you will find the third bedroom and second bathroom.
The vaulted ceiling and skylights define the home. Bright, spacious, and genuinely distinctive.
Private Balcony
Every Guild Lodge maisonette has a good-sized private balcony, accessed from the main living area – a genuinely useful outdoor space for relaxing or simply enjoying the extra breathing room that most rental homes cannot offer.
High Specification and Sustainable by Design
All seven homes are EPC B rated, connected to the district heat network for efficient heating and hot water supply, and are finished to a consistently high standard throughout. Each has access to a private parking bay, at an additional charge.
Availability
Guild Lodge maisonettes are available at full market rent. For current availability, please visit our property search.

The Cornerstone is one of ThamesWey Housing’s most distinctive addresses, set right in the heart of Woking town centre. Brought to life through a sensitive and high-quality transformation of an existing building, it combines a striking, characterful exterior and contemporary, well-designed apartments to offer modern, professionally managed homes in one of the most convenient locations in the borough.
Woking Station – with fast, frequent trains to London – is only a few minutes’ walk, and the town’s shops, restaurants and bars are right on the doorstep. The Cornerstone is ideal for anyone who wants to live at the centre of things.
A home to suit you
The Cornerstone offers a genuine choice of homes, with studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments available. Each one comes with built-in storage, a modern fitted kitchen and a contemporary bathroom, finished to the standard residents have come to expect from ThamesWey.
Because the building is a high-quality conversion rather than a new build, apartments carry an EPC rating of between B and C. This is a strong level of energy efficiency for this type of property, helping to keep day-to-day running costs down for residents.
More than just an apartment
Life at The Cornerstone extends beyond the front door. A courtyard garden sits at the heart of the building, providing residents with an attractive shared space to enjoy. For those who work from home, the dedicated co-working space offers a comfortable alternative to the kitchen table – a place to focus, take calls, or simply catch up with neighbours.

Residents also benefit from broadband, a shared laundry room (available to studios only), and parking and secure storage units (available at an additional cost, subject to availability).
Town centre living, professionally managed
Good-quality rental homes in central Woking are always in demand, and The Cornerstone meets that demand with the reassurance of a professional, responsive management. From its location to its shared spaces and resident facilities, the building has been designed to make renting straightforward, and enjoyable.
The Cornerstone also reflects the breadth of the ThamesWey portfolio. With approximately 1,450 homes across Woking and Surrey, from family houses to sheltered housing and town-centre apartments, ThamesWey supports a wide range of housing needs, consistently managed to a high standard.
ThamesWey has seized the opportunity of two recent developments to implement biodiversity enhancement measures in Woking Town Centre.
The recent completion of the Middle Walk Town Centre Development has transformed the leaky, ageing building into 47 highly energy efficient and modern apartments. Part of this refurbishment included installing around 500m² of green roof, with both intensive and extensive sections, and balcony planters forming a 10m tall green wall of wildflowers, shrubs and grasses.
Balcony planters at Middle Walk
Toward the eastern side of the town centre, the ‘Cornerstone’ office has also undergone an extensive renovation converting the office into 94 apartments. Over 100m² of green roof is a feature of this redevelopment, which is due to be completed Autumn 2021.
This form of urban greening supports Woking Borough Council’s 2050 sustainability strategy for its biodiversity credentials, but also because of the energy-saving impact of these installations. In the summer, the green roof and walls shade the building, which reduces the temperature of the building fabric and mitigates the risk of overheating. In the winter, the insulating properties work to retain heat within the building, therefore reducing the amount of energy the occupants need to use to warm their homes. This makes for a comfortable and affordable place to live.

Green roofs and walls are not only of value to the building occupants, but also benefit the local community around them. The plants add aesthetic value to the local area, increasing feelings of wellbeing. The variety of plants used range from shrubs such as Bell Heather, Dwarf Gorse and European Blueberry to wildflowers like Knapweed, Cowslip and Ox-Eye Daisies, and climbers including Hart’s Tongue Fern and Morrows Sedge. These attractive plants contribute to improving the biodiversity within the town centre, providing habitats for small invertebrates and a food source for birds.
The plant layers have the ability to improve local air quality by trapping pollutants as well as capturing and storing carbon dioxide, in a process known as carbon sequestering. The green wall at Middle Walk alone is capable of sequestering an estimated 830kg of carbon a year.
Urban greening also benefits the community in times of extreme rainfall. The plants and soil act to slow the speed at which rainfall enters the drainage system, reducing the risk of flooding during times of highest precipitation.
