Homes in Ruislip
Ruislip is a classic Metroland suburb, with interwar semis and detached houses built after the Metropolitan line arrived. Ruislip Manor was developed as a garden suburb, and the old village has historic timber-framed buildings and a conservation area.
Eastcote has similar interwar housing with some older cottages. Ruislip Woods and the Lido are nearby. The River Pinn runs through the area, and some streets are in flood zones. Ruislip is popular with families, partly because of its schools, and prices are high. Interwar houses here were generally well built, but many have been extended and altered. Ruislip Gardens and South Ruislip have more modest semis and terraces, some close to RAF Northolt and the A40, which can bring aircraft and traffic noise.
Areas we cover include Ruislip, Ruislip Manor, Eastcote, South Ruislip, Ruislip Gardens.
