Thanks for the info. We had a friend check out the area and the house today. She said that the primary school is quite close, there are a few shops (Sainsbury, wine shop, mini-mart) w/in a 5-10 minute walk, and Guildford and Woking are just minutes down the road by car. So, if we decide to get the house we should be quite comfortable even if I don't start driving right away. It would be so nice to get something set up for housing so we don't have to do that right away when we get over! We'll still live in a temporary place until we get our shipment, though, I think. We might send our shipment over before us, too, to lessen the time we have to wait.
