Homes in New Malden
New Malden is mainly interwar suburbia, with semis and detached houses built after the railway arrived. Old Malden has some older cottages and a conservation area, and Motspur Park has interwar semis near the railway.
The area has a well-known Korean community, and its high street has seen some new flats. The Beverley Brook and Hogsmill River run through the area, with localised flood risk. Prices are lower than Kingston and Wimbledon, attracting families. The original interwar build quality is generally sound, though decades of alteration mean no two houses are quite the same. Motspur Park has smaller semis close to the railway, and Old Malden has a quieter conservation area with older houses near the church. Fast trains to Waterloo keep commuter demand high.
Areas we cover include New Malden, Old Malden, Motspur Park, Coombe Vale.
